The fact he's selling the property as well doesn't help me feel any better about it all - I won't be backing down. I'll chat with the Mrs tonight to decide on what to do next and keep you posted.

I didn't realise the property was being sold. The landlord's outlook is now clear - get the tenant to pay for a complete re-carpeting of the ground floor, to improve the appearance to buyers, rather than the landlord replacing carpets on a piecemeal basis if it was tenanted.
In your shoes I'd make the previous offer my BAFO and let him sweat. Still worth making the request for copies of invoices for the existing carpets though, and making it clear that you'd prefer arbitration if your offer is rejected.
