Nope. Part P came in in 2005.

Why would it not have passed? Someone signs a certificate and it's filed away, never to be seen again. I know little about the process as it doesn't apply over here, but does are any checks ever conducted? Surely the only value in that cert is the fact it has a name attached.

There was no electrical cert available to this house so even if anyone wanted to check who wired it there is no chance now

Going back someone said that 16amp in 1.5mm was fine for a kitchen, in EU terms maximum of eight sockets in 1.5mm, but all the white goods have to be on their own individual circuit, so the maximum a 16amp radial in a kitchen would take is a toaster and kettle.

To find out the who the electrical contractor was, ask the HSE for a copy of the Estate F10, then ask the appointed professionals, all of whom would be named on the form.
