When does a domestic property need a rewire ???

[Dozer 73]

Personally looks like a rewire to me , safety , investment , that’s my personal opinion
But hey it could also have a few improvements and be fine for years to come , that’s why I started this thread
Perfect example for the thread

You should seek a 2nd opinion regarding those codes ...

How big is the home and how long was the "inspector" in it?

He's in my neck of the woods. I would not be surprised at a lack of earthing conductor. Most service heads never had the facility and there are plenty still without.

Still, the wrong codings ring alarm bells as to the legitimacy of the report.

I’ve heard of lead water pipes being used as earths and when properties get upgraded water supplies they loose main earth

Maximum demand @ 100 Amps looks very fishy too.

I am in your neck of the woods. Are you busy tomorrow morning or next Wednesday morning for a second opinion?

It's a small two bed, with extended kitchen.
He was about 10-15 minutes under the stairs. I don't know if this is usual
