As bill01803 says depends on the total floor area and also what the requirements are, i.e kitchen areas (as Pat H mentioned) ideally need their own RFC as these days they tend to require many more sockets with potentially high wattage appliances.Upstairs & downstairs on the same breaker, RCD protected board.

Mine is 1970s one ring final in a three bed house. R2 continuity is sky high because of 1.0 cpcs.
25 years old I would guess, went around and had a look the other day as customer wanted a rewire quote, just thought it was a bit strange.
How is normal 2 bed but has had the garage converted into a dining room (extended ring to suite I think) also had a loft conversion too but without further investigation I would only be guessing.
Westie, reading your status (a bit cheeky I reckon) I'm tempted to say - I could recommend an Electrician to come over and fix your ring - Only tempted, mind .Mine is 1970s one ring final in a three bed house. R2 continuity is sky high because of 1.0 cpcs.
Mine is a ring final apart from a spurred multiple outlet in the kitchen which I will sort when the kitchen is changed, mind you be saying this for the last 12 years. I have added to it and my R2 measures 2.20 ohms.My brother's old place was awful. Good size 3 bed semi, one ring for all sockets, upstairs sockets on the ring, every downstairs socket was a spur dropped from a JB above.
