yep i second that..Tel was 1st to offer, so only fair he gets 1st go at it.
Op if I was you I would arrange something with Tel to do a test on your property, he is a very experienced electrician and will give you a genuine assessment of the installation and what needs doing to make it satisfactory, and is also trustworthy which counts for a hell of a lot these days.
I know that nothing has been done to the electrics for over 20 years.
"because the cables are all the thick kind it's not that bad "
I also know that there won't be any room for negotiation on price as we're getting a decent price already but the seller has made it very clear he won't renegotiate after a survey.
1. Any way of guessing whether we need a full rewire or just patching things up?
2. Assuming we need a rewire approx what kind of price should we be expecting to pay?
3. And would the price be much lower if we didn't move into the house until the work had been completed, so the house would be retired while unoccupied?
4. Finally, if the cost is say £5k do most people get loans or something to pay it all at once? Or do many electricians take credit cards nowadays? We will be quite skirt for a few months after purchasing the house but don't want to wait to get a rewire if the electrics are a safety risk now.
By the way, my wonderful uncle, sadly passed away a few years ago now, was a very talented electrician who tookmhis work very seriously and I have a lot of respect for your profession.
To far for me as well Northampton
Northampton is too far from everywhere.
