Consumer Unit installed May 2015

By definition, one could not undertake any 'end-to-end' measurements on an intact ring circuit (which has no 'ends' :) ) - so, no matter where you do the 'dismantling', you'd have to do some!

Kind Regards, John
Yes I agreed. But the point is it's minimal dismantling, and I wouldn't be poking around a busy DB to do it.

However, as I think you are implying, this is all really down to the buyer. In fact, years-old installation certificates, even if they were available, would be of little value to a buyer, anyway. If the buyer wants reassurance about the present state/condition of the electrical installation, then he/she should commission and pay for an EICR - but, as a seller, I would have nothing to do with any of that.

No more need be said.
 
If one was to follow the guide lines, then one would remove a sample of sockets and switches and ceiling roses to check for grommets and sleeving,

I don’t think either are actually a requirement though.

You can’t pass or fail an EICR, it is a report, nothing more.
Well, that's really a semantic issue. Whilst one can't "pass" or "fail" an EICR, in such language, the 'summary' of an EICR report indicates whether the installation is "satisfactory" ('suitable for continued use') or "unsatisfactory ('not suitable for continued use') - which I would say are as close to "pass" and "fail" as makes no difference!
