The correct way to do it would be to inform the council before you start, and they will take your money and do whatever they need to to satisfy themelves that it meets the technical requirements of part P, what they do differs, but if your friend has 2381 and 2391 etc, whatever they do in your neck of the woods shouldn't be a problem.
It sounds like your spark friend who has a mate who is part p reg'd in his own right, if his mate trusts him is is prepared to bend the rules and sign his work off as his own, then that is fine, but I'd check with your spark that his mate is totally prepared to do that, the last thing you want is him backing out at the last minute and leaving you up the creek without any rowing impliments...

The regulations are the IEE Wiring Regulations (sixteenth edition, as you've said) BS 7671.
Part P is a building regulation which contains almost nothing in the way of electrical regulations or practice, but effectively directs you to comply with BS 7671.
But, if you didn't already know that, I doubt whether parting with around £50 for a copy will really help.
Try John Whitfields, "The Electricians Guide to the 16th Edition of the IEE Wiring Regulations". You can find it on Amazon and in many bookshops. This is a textbook, rather than a set of regulations and pretty much contains all you need to know.
