The notes
Exactly as they are on the site.
No previous records here, so there’s nothing to sample against: it’s a full inspection and test. Where credible records do exist, you can sample a proportion of it, and the consumer unit is looked at in full whatever happens.
Some things you can’t see without damaging the building: whether a buried cable runs in a prescribed zone, say. You don’t chase out plaster to find out. That’s N/V, not verified, recorded honestly.
