We are looking to buy a flat which was built in 1962, we are considering putting in an offer . The wiring has never been replaced and thus no earth on the lighting . The CU is the original wire pull fuses.
Clearly 1st job would to get a professional in and get it rewired.
The flat has been fitted out with new Kitchen and bathroom and decorated to good standard. The ceiling and floor is solid.
To get an idea of the work that would be undertaken is it a case of all the wiring would be chased up to the ceiling area then fixed across all the ceilings to the CU location and then new ceilings put in all the rooms.
I appreciate professional would advise on inspection and I will be having an electrician survey the property if we make an offer at the survey stage, just trying to get an idea of the work involved before we move forward.
Cant see an electrician going round when we are still at viewing stage.
Any guidance would be appreciated
