Hello,
Had an EICR done on a property I am looking to buy. It is a 1930s 3 bedroom detached house. The electrician recommended that full rewiring be carried out which may cost around GBP8500. The report shows quite a few (7) C2 items but no C1 (items shown below). I was informed that the wiring is about 40 years old.
Are these issues more or less common and whether needs immediate attention or I can sort out later on? Also does the rewiring cost sound sensible?
Any help appreciated. Thanks
