Hi, my son has just bought a house and although I haven't yet checked each and every socket, all the upstairs ones I've checked have 3 x cables and all downstairs ones I've checked have 1 x cable.
This suggests to me that the downstairs sockets are spurred from an upstairs ring main! The amount of sockets on each floor is roughly the same.
Is this common? The house was built in the 70s. Was this just a lazy way to reduce cable cost and effort? It certainly makes adding additional sockets downstairs more difficult.
Is the existing set-up safe?
