We are deep in the process of buying a house. Over all the house is in good condition and looks nice (its not a renovation project etc).
Our survey revealed some questions over electrics and fire safety. In addition the vendor has no part p certificates.
Note the property has been extended several times by different owners and no one has obtained building completion certificates so one can assume the electrics may not have been formally checked then either.
Have asked to send in an electrician, vendor insisted on having their electrician and they have suggested £2k of work which the vendor wants to do before we move in.
We want to do our own electrical survey based on the surveyors notes (covering more than what as been checked by the sellers electrician). She is refusing to let us do this. We have said we prefer to do any works when we move in as we can oversee it. She prefers she do it and not for our electrician to visit til she has completed the work (which doesn't cover all that needs doing).
We are all working to an agreed date, and this will throw that date off completely.
I feel like its very odd we cannot have our electrician survey - its at our cost after all!
Any insight or opinions welcome
