Hi, I am planning a new kitchen and am not sure on the type of washer.
Does a semi integrated just a have door and no unit, and a fully
integrated have a unit? Which is preferred?

For the electrics, is is best to install a socket behind the dishwasher
or get one installed above the countertop?

Thank you

Integrated has a full door covering it completely. Semi integrated uses
a smaller door and leaves the control panel on show - a drawer sized
strip at the top. Neither need a cabinet.

Get the socket fitted behind the unit next to the dishwasher with an
access hole so you can get at it without moving the DW.

Going through exactly the same process ATM.

Depends whether or not you intend complying with Part P. :-)

Personally, I'm going with a switched spur above the counter feeding down
to an unswitched socket behind the d/w.

Which is all fine and dandy until the fuse goes in the d/w plug
