Hi All, I am looking at a property right now and pre-empting some of the survey points. The pointing seems to be missing in small places and "interestingly" patched in other areas. Does this still look serviceable with a bit of gap filling, or not really and needs to be done. Equally this is...

Hi All, I am just looking at a new property and noticed the fuse box looked a bit old and surrounded by lots of older looking 'stuff'. How old do you think this consumer unit is and anything that worries you about it (apart from the wiring to my eye looking a bit unkept!)
