Potential House Wiring

[Knobhead]

not if tony gets there first. LOL.

I have enough junk thank you. But if anyone's got a Ellison OCB kicking around I'm interested.

I you can afford the property without money knocked off then surely with money knocked off for a rewire would be no different?!?!
Or do you just not want to pay anyone to do the work?

That's more like it. He'll be back in a while wanting free information to rewire a house.

It's not that I don't want to pay, it's just I don't want to pay for a electric survery for a house I may not even get, I just wish these sort of things were law before selling a house, so much less hassel for the potential buyer then

Well the government tried to introduce something similar to what you want with the HIP but iirc everyone went up in arms about it plus how would such a law work and how would it be policed?

You should be asking for the electrical certificates and or EICR's anyway. Pretty much all property sales need this nowadays. If they havent got it, ask why. This will give you an upper hand for the negotiation and you could suggest that it may need a completet rewire. This will probably give them the idea of gettin gthe EICR done themsleves.
