When I moved in, the solicitor asked me if I still wanted to go ahead as there were no fitted drawers in the house anymore as described in the survey.

So I guess mine is really bad news. I plug the electrics for my shed (when ocassionaly required) in to a socket in my porch, the cable goes outdoors overhead suspended on a wire to my shed. If I need to sell will just unplug and rip the cable down.

Yup, that's the part P way - its ok to bodge it, but doing it properly incurs an exercise in paperwork. ;-)
You could (reading the letter of the approved doc) also install a whole new CU from split tails, just for your garden feed, since that would not be a replacement! (although you may not be able to install new circuits from that ;-)
Personally, I find the grin and ignore it approach works well ;-)

Seems unlikely - especially in the current sellers market.
Its pretty much a non issue these days.

but putting it back in safely might involve digging up the patio and the garden to run a "safe" feed to the shed.

So long as its done properly then its a non issue. The worst that happens is someone gets it tested. The only argument would be who pays for the testing.

The really bad news is that, had it not been for Part-P, you'd probably have done it properly - and far more safely!

It has since Part pee started, the local council even has stock letters that they issue that state they have no interest in work done without notification if it was done more than 12 months ago. They won't prosecute anyone for doing the work, but they will prosecute if its substandard and dangerous just as they did before part pee.

I've just sold and bought; solicitors may note the absence of all sorts of paper-work, you then tell them not to bother, they then write to the other party "my client is willing to take a view?" Nobody cares

There are always other buyers, if someone walks away then the lack of paperwork is just an excuse, not a real reason.

"oohhh but what about the insurance?"
I say..... IDGAF
no-one gives a toss about poxy bit's of part-p paper apart from those making money from issuing them and those making money selling s*1t to those issuing them.
One big government backed scam like everything where the council is party to it's "legislation"

No it doesn't. You say "do you want to buy the house or not?"
If they say "not without valid Gas Safe and Part-P paperwork" where applicable)
I'd personally tell them an extra £10k on the price and all certificates would be provided or they buy "sold as seen" or they piss of and buy someone else's' house.
No problem, no solution required.

Precisely. You just say "There's no paperwork for 'x'" (FENSA certificates are the "best" example for that) and everyone just says "OK" and gets on with their lives.

Actually FENSA certificates are the worst example for that, because you can search by postcode/house number whether a certificate was ever issued and pay to receive a replacement if you care.
That's true enough though.

The buyer's solicitor in a probate sale I had to oversee...
I think that's the nub - the buyer doesn't care. It's the bloody solicitors who panic them into whining. In the case of a probate sale that needs to be done fast (empty property) it was more expedient to go on the FENSA site and pay and download a copy.
Yes, it's a load of stupid bollocks.
In exchange for (but wholly unrelated to) my diligence, I had a sale that missed completion by 2 weeks! Boy, did they pay for that in late completion penalties! I was *this* close to declaring them in breach of contract and keeping the deposit.
The point being, they were quite happy to f*ck about with trivia like FENSA certs, but could not manage the slightly bigger issue of producing money on time!
