Hi, I recently went to look at a house with about 10 sockets not working. Checked the continuity on the ring main ends - all good. I turned off all other socket circuits in the board just to make sure no crossed circuits - still the same, about 5 sockets working and the rest (about 10) not working.
No live/earth continuity at the non-working sockets either. Tested the ends in a non-working socket with all the ends connected at the board. Neutrals reading ok but open circuit on the lives & earths. I'm usually pretty good at fault-finding but this one has got me baffled.

Any ideas much appreciated.
