Chris Pearson:
So the least bad solution might be to rewire the circuit.The tenant does NOT want that. I have talked to her and she is happy that the electrics are safe (it passed EICR five years ago and nothing has changed). She works from home and has children. Re-wiring would be very disruptive and very dusty because wires are buried in the wall and not conduited. The house is full of furniture which would have to be removed. It would be a nightmare for her.
If the house was between tenants and empty I might agree.
My only concern is the lighting cables them selves are not protected but as long as the circuit is protected by RCD or RCBO this would then be a C3 and possibly deal with the C1
