New consumer installed by unregistered electrician - what to do now!?

Bought a house, it needed some wiring changing (not notifiable I don't think as not a new circuit). Went with an electrician who was a friend of a friend, didn't know about him needing to be registered, or Part P or anything, he did the wiring, and then I asked him if he could also change the consumer unit too as none of the house or garage had rcd protection and the fuse box was extremely old (actual fuses). He did it. I'm not concerned with the quality of the work, I was working at home so I saw him testing it myself and I've taken the cover off and had a look and everything seems very professionally done but what is the best thing to do now, as I realised that I shouldn't have got him to do it. It was about 6 months ago that he did the work. If I don't tell building control then when I sell the house I'll pay for indemnity insurance which I think would cover any issues that would arise in the future. But I tend to like to have everything above board, so is there anything I can do now to get it notified without paying a fortune. I also do not have an EIC for the new wiring which is annoying, but I'm not so worried about that.
