Thanks for all the responses - I've sent a mail off to the solicitor outlining the fact that my position stands - I await a responseComment

My solicitor has sent a response rejecting the claims.
I've done a bit of further digging and lo and behold the guy who’s claiming from me is a director of an Electrics company. Taking into account Caveat Emptor surely he’s in a better position than most to realise where there are electrical problems prior to exchange…or had he already spotted them and thought I could make a few quid out of this….Comment

A director in an Electrics company might just have got that quote from a mate's firm. Ditto with the plumbing estimate.Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.Comment

Originally posted by BolshieBastard View PostThis is not totally correct. The Part P regulations allow the householder or a non certified electrician, to add additional sockets and extensions etc to an existing circuit.
Part P does not allow the householder or non certified electrician to add a new ring circuit (where a cable is run from the consumer unit to a couple of sockets and back to the consumer unit) and therefore new sockets.
If you have run an extension to the garage workshop or shed that does not form a new ring circuit, (even if previously there were no sockets in that location), you do not need to have a Part P certificate for the work so you can tell them to **** off.
Hope this helps.
