Hi
We are considering the purchase of a 4 bed early 1970s house. The electrical systems are OK at present, consumer board replaced.
Can anyone comment on life expectancy of this system and when we may reasonably expect to have to rewire ?
Could we simply replace sockets, switches, fittings etc. to prolong life, as some are discoloured, dated ? Current wiring plastic coated and in apparently good condition.
Acknowledge that this is fairly subjective, but general comments would be aprreciated. Many thanks.
