Electric Installation Queries

Can't one of the two 16amp circuits just be disconnected and capped off?
You haven't got two circuits - you have one, connected to two MCBs.


I don't think it was a DIY replacement as I'm pretty sure it it was done as part of the electrical works before we bought it.
DIY or not, it was done by a numpty. And either that numpty or another one thought the right thing to do with earths when the switches are plastic is to cut them back so as to make it difficult to ever install metal switches.

You should have the electrician you choose do a proper inspection.
 
Given the things you know about, that's not a bad idea.

And of course you will want any dangerous faults rectifying ASAP.
