If the property has been let they would have had gas and leccy certs but im not sure what they need them for selling it tbh. Its really not something that is required!
-
I'd like to ask the vendor to get these done to make sure things are at least working in theory - how/when/through who do I go about requesting this? Our solicitors? The agent?
"Hi agent, in the interests of keeping this sale alive can you get seller to forward on the most recent gas safety and any 'leccy inspection certs to our solicitors ASAP? thx"
As above, no guarantee they have them. If your eyeballing of the place worries you in that area then you can pay people to inspect for you if you can afford to hold things up for a bit.
Personally I think it's best to assume the CH, gas and leccy is mostly fucked unless proven otherwise

Solicitors if your at stage. If the property was being rented as of recent then gas cert is required yearly. If not vendor isn't obliged too so bear that in mind

My buyer asked me to do this, I said no. There's only really a downside to it for the seller (assuming the buyer isn't going to pull out over it).

Homebuyers report came back (mainly threes - but things we expected...).
It noted that none of the boiler, gas, nor electricity has inspection certificates (might not seem strange other than that the house was previously rented out).

I suppose they might have been done, just that the certs weren't left with the meters or something.
