The guy who has written this report is a member of NICEIC. He's right, in the view of any judge, solicitor or most reasonable members of the public; we're just some random anonymous idiots on the 'net.

all the OP needs to do is

No, he would need to find someone more qualified to write a different report. From 200 miles away, tomorrow, and costing less than it takes to just pay this bill.

You are kidding, have you tried the English system for buying houses?

Many times, but it's the estate agents that I don't trust. At least lawyers are just incompetent.

If you agree I may suggest you put in clause along the lines of the buyer having inspected the house agrees to no further claims against the property. This may cost you the £400 or so but prevents any future claims up to the 5 day period post sale. If worded correctly the no further claims may extend to ANY claim - not just electrical
