Looking to sell a leasehold flat that I've owned for a couple of years. The problem is what to do with all of the electrics?
Fuse Box: Ancient, uses bakelite fuses and it's in the communal hallway. I'd like to have this upgraded but am I right in thinking that an electrician would want to go through and check the wiring through-out the property? Also, as it's in the communal hall, would I need to contact the freehold owner of the building/maintenance company?
All of the sockets and pendant fittings have been upgraded in the last 2 years but the original wiring is still in, the old black and red wires with the uncovered earth wires, some of which have been wrapped around a screw or folded back on themselves???
Should I just prepare myself for the worst and a full re-wire?
Kitchen was refitted last year and had new sockets and insulating/impact proof trunking channelled in to the walls. I'd presume this would pass any inspection and wouldn't need to be ripped apart?
