I am about to move into a flat with loft access. The light in one of the bedrooms is about 2 foot away from the window. Ideally, I'd like to move the light to the center of the room.

If the cable needs to be longer in order to move the light can I use a terminal block to extend the cable or not?

As above, surely must have been split into two at some point? Who would put a light fitting there?

Out of interest, the houses on our estate were built in the mid to late 1970s and they also have bedroom ceiling roses near the window. It really put a damper on my 'shadow antics' when we moved in.

Well in that case get a spark in to move it to where you like, best option would be to get some nice down light fitted.

If your buying it try to get an electrical installation certificate or electrical installation condition report from the seller.

Downlights in a bedroom not good. Lying in bed looking up at a downlight is not nice.

RE, electrical installation report. Normally surveys are up to the buyer to obtain.
