ABC1 the point here is,to quote BS 7671 134.1.4 and 526 electrical connections.If you were to crimp or solder your connection you could bury them.If you made a connection behind or in an enclosure ( Just like a switchbox and plate) then 526.5 would apply.Be wary of the N.I.C. as they tend to have their own set of definitions or interpretations of BS 7671.Their inspectors use their own guidelines and set their own pass criteria.
Be thankfull they're not the elite of the electrical world that they once were.Competition has forced them to to take a less authoritarian approach,and thus,slacken their credibility.
In all fairness,one of my customers,who owns 12 rental properties,won't beleive that any legislation imposed will effect the seller.The seller can lie about dates and repairs.Only the credibility of the buyers PIR would be under scrutiny and the sellers information is hard to guarantee pre HIP.He seems confident...lets see what will or won't happen!!
