Would £2,500 non vat (Cash on the nail) be realistically to rewire empty 4 bed terraced?

I've got a 4 bed terraced house and the house is empty with all floorboards accessible. Would £2,500 non vat (Cash on the nail without delays) be realistically possible or is that too cheap?

I think this would possibly be with me buying the materials and the £2,500 for labour only - Am I anywhere near the mark.
If you want an ultra basic install with each room only having a couple of sockets, a single light switch and a pendant light in the ceiling, there are probably people who will do it for that amount.£2,500 for labour only - Am I anywhere near the mark.
Do the quality of materials differ from supplier to supplier?And don’t buy ANYTHING until you have discussed the project with whoever is doing the job. Projects where the customers think they’ll save a few Bob by buying materials are always a PITA.
So often the materials aren’t up to scratch, missing, late or just plain wrong. The last job I did like that I refused to give a price for “labour only”. I charged hourly and had several lazy hours waiting on site while the customer made several trips to B&Q to try and get the right stuff. It cost him more in the end.
So he probably saved a fair bit as the final cost wasn't much more than the original quote?The final cost for the extention was only a little more than the original quote which didn't include a consumer unit or rewire.
That just about sums it up but bear in mind that was including the extention which involved 4 of the 8 rooms in the house and added a nineth.So if the original quote was without the rewire and consumer unit and it was only slightly less than the total he spent when he did much of the electrical work himself means he probably saved a fair bit as the final cost wasn't much more than the original quote? Have I got it right?
Quite possibly but remember he did most of first fix.So if he had a total house rewire when having the extension done it must have saved a good few thousands pounds I'm guessing. Maybe £3000 - £3,500
