What happens if you don't have a 'competent person' to do the
necessary work, or don't have it inspected? Can you expect 'a knock on
the door in the night'...?


With buyers packs and pre sale surveying etc. that is around or planned, I
*suspect* you won't be able to sell the property.

You'll just answer the question in the sellers pack about certification
for electrical work with "no certificates are available" and the buyer
can then get their own inspection. Or you pay for an inspection before
you get the sellers pack and include that. Either way as long as you've
done the work to current regs then nothing to worry about. An
electrical inspection fee is small change in the context of the ~£10k it
costs to move house these days.

As always, if the buyer wants the house, they'll buy the house. There
is no law stopping a house being sold if it doesn't have the relevant
certificates for work done on it.
