Purchased from a new builder (not a national one or self build).Is this a new build built by a national housebuilder or by a local developer and did you pay 1 single payment to them?
If so your complaint and retribution is with the company you paid the money to.
It then doesn't matter whether the electrician, landscape gardener or painter missed out the CPC and created the C2's etc it's for the person with whom you had a contract and who received your money, to sort out.
If it went to court you can't pursue the trades as you didn't employ them.
If however it was self build or you paid trades individually then it is your problem to deal with.
Does it have NHBC cover, they're probably just as bad as any other trade organisation but the more bodies involved the better?
The NICEIC essentially blamed the builder.
Here's a sample4 storey I would expect probably does need fire rated downlights.
Post a redacted copy of the EIC here, we can take a look at it for you
