Bite Thier hand off, test it, fail it, price for remedial work...I think they have it spot on.....if nothing else you've got a testing fee for something you already know to be a fail before setting foot in the place.

That’s a valid point. Only then home owners will learn that paying peanuts gets you monkeys.

I used to work with a Romanian spark who wired a 4mm feed to a central junction box and spidered off to about 15 double sockets. That’s apparently how they do it over there.

there is some truth to that , I have seen videos of Eastern Europea wiring where they take one central feed to a big junction box and then one cable to each accessor. You then end up with about 10-15 cables in one junction which get twisted together and soldered.
