I am buying a Victorian house, 1895, it has definitely been rewired over the years and has a 1970's fuseboard in it, every electrician I've had in the door has said. "needs a complete re-wire this", with the sucking of teeth you get when you take your car in for service. This is a beautiful old house, with beautiful skirting boards, picture rails and cornicing and it seems crazy to knock seven bells out of it to get the wiring "up to date" when all the lights work, all the sockets work and there is only 2 pieces of 2 core wiring in the house.
Whats the consensus view on this ?? I am flummoxed and worried about destroying the integrity of my beautiful house, but equally, I don't want it to burn down.......
Thanks
