Hello,
I've had a quick look around the forums about this topic and im pretty sure i know "the answers" but i thought i would ask a specific question or 2 and see what you guys thought...
So im moving house soon, i want to take 6 (identical) Wall lights with me, they retail at around £100 and we like them so i feel i want to take them with us. There are also 2 (matching) ceiling lights that i want to take.
This is all documented in the contract etc but I want to do the "right" thing in terms of making good.
With the ceiling lights i think it's relatively easy i.e just replace with a couple of pendants ?
More of a concern is what to do about the wall lights, when we moved in 15 years ago (new build) all the wires were just poking through the walls and had been tapped off, i then fitted the wall lights myself without any bother.
Now im not at all comfortable with leaving the wires like that for the new occupier but i am not sure what to do.
Iv'e considered blanking plates but from what i've read that requires a box to be cut into the wall and to be honest i suspect the buyer will be replacing them with their own wall lights and this will just mean 6 holes in the wall.
Any advice, suggestions etc would be appreciated.
I appreciate im going to need an electrician to do this work but just wanted a wider view on the options.
Thanks
Dave
