Sounds like it should be a TT.

Did you take a Ze/s reading???

to be honest not many mortgage companys really care about electrical stuff...!! does it work YES...!! BIG STAMP !!! there you go...!!


TT instal with possibly no rod..! 4mm cable hmmmm!! interesting, what size fuse it on!
were property at!! as if you fancy the job of a rewire give them a decent quote give them my number and i will make yours sound good..!!

no but i think it will be a tt, they just bought the house so it must have passed some regs! i will check earth fault next time i call , but it doesnt look safe to me, even the greenhouse outside is fed from 1.5mm flex through garden on a 13a plug lol

 

[wattsup]

Probably 3029's, no 4mm till early 70's -

thanks for your advice, the house needs a rewire, but they havent got the cash with just buying the house
