You should have an annual gas safety cert anyway right?
As a buyer, if I didn't see something I'd assume a major issue. i.e. is the flue serviceable? Does the boiler carry a huge "Do not use" sticker from a prior inspection?
If one wasn't supplied routinely, or couldn't be supplied... I'd have questions and would consider pulling out. A boiler test at least is like a change of oil or MOT for a car - why don't you have one?
The electrics... frankly, the buyer should've glanced at a fuse box when they visited, or could say "please take a photo at minimum"... just a sanity check. A full test would've revealed the cluster-fuck that is my kitchen, but full electrics testing is not a routine thing and I wouldn't expect one to be done, just a sanity check on the consumer unit for an estimation of the last time someone may have done major work to the electrics and an assumption that there is a skeleton somewhere but at least it's a small one.
