electrics aren't covered by a building survey, you need an electric installation condition report. if you're selling you aren't obliged to have one or tell buyers about the state of the electrics, let them pay for a report and if they do then you can haggle over any issues that come up.

Your electrician should of tested the house wiring and produced a report when s/he replaced the fuse box.
No earthing on the lighting circuit is a major fail and you won't get a certificate unless it's rectified.
Anyone cany enough to recognise a new CU has been installed will ask for the certificate when you are selling the house.

Do you mean it has no earth in the lighting wiring? I suspect that may be permissable as an existing installation, but may be worth checking online. Building surveys don't delve very deep.

Think I know the answer to this but here goes:
I had the fuse box replaced with a consumer unit today, there were a few issues - one of which was that the lighting circuit has no protective conductor. I had a building survey carried out and this issue isn't listed but I'm assuming there will be no comeback here on them? Without this I think the electrics are uncompliant and so will have issues selling the house?
