Thanks 

Tiles are ceramic 

Take a photo, as I doubt a developer would use anything other than standard, cheap flexible floor tiles.

Ain’t flexible floor tiles, one has chipped

FWIW, assuming the tiles are ceramic, I would use a self levelling compound to give a smooth finish, then put the floor covering over that.

Similarly, if there is a patch of floor without tiles, you can get some high build floor leveller (max c15mm I think).

Of course by the time you've done that and added carpet and underlay, you're probably up 1" on your starting floor level. Not necessarily a problem, as long as you can live with an odd door bar. In our last place, we put reclaimed pine boards down on a concrete floor, which took us up about 1". I graded this out over 2-3" by planing and sanding the first board in the doorway and when it was done it wasn't noticeable.

Personally I wouldn't bother lifting the floor - did it in an old house and, as said it was messy and an unpleasant job.

Isn't sorting out the old kitchen electrical,plumbing, plaster ,decor and floor part of the quote anyway, "making good" ?
in which case ,it's the builders problem 
you need a list of what is included and what is p̶a̶y̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶f̶o̶r̶ ̶o̶n̶e̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶b̶u̶i̶l̶d̶e̶r̶'̶s̶ ̶h̶o̶l̶i̶d̶a̶y̶s̶ ̶i̶n̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶s̶u̶n̶ "extras"

I do have such a list. Flooring is extra, hence question.
