When did this happen then????

Kind of relieved as my shed, which I inherited when I moved into my
property in 2005, already had electrics wired up by the previous
owner. But as I'm now considering getting rid of it and building a
bigger one, was concerned about tinkering about with the supply.

So I guess I can do what I like out there now? :-)

You always could, the electricity police aren't waiting around the
corner ready to pounce on anyone breaking the rules

But, a potential problem arises when you come to sell your house.

No "potential" problem I can foresee.

If after the solicitation of a conveyancer and a house survey, any
perceived problem is with the buyer if the seller can't produce an
appropriate sheet of paper or a certificate.

strange way of looking at it. Many buyers would simply walk away. That
puts the problem on the vendor's lap.

A difficult purchaser might well walk away, but generally once a mind is
set on a property minor things like Part P compliance is a long way down
the list of importance.

Most house surveys suggest an appropriate gas and electric survey in any
case.

YMMV
