Qualified electrician selling house

Hi all We are only weeks away from completing on a house. There's a few things stopping us, one of which is the electrics. (Other things include window installation and move of internal walls without being checked by building regs) The seller is a qualified electrician that works for a niceic approved company and he rewired the whole house about two years ago himself. On requesting the certificate for the work he fobbed us off saying that the niceic website was down (it wasn't, we checked) now we've told him we can't find the certificate when we search for it on the website, he has said that he hasn't done it yet. My question is, due to the rules on notifying niceic within 20 days, we assume he will be changing the dates on the certificate and wonder, should we contact niceic or insist that the electrics are rechecked and a new certificate issued before exchange? If you would like to comment on the windows installed and internal wall being moved without being checked, please do, we are umming and arring on wether we will insist these are checked before exchange.
