I am in the process of buying a 17th century cottage. The absentee owners have had it for 25 years (I believe it was inherited from parents) and have used it as a personal holiday cottage. The fittings are all modern and there is a modern shower room built onto the ground floor but I know they never had it re-wired and I have asked if they can find out if/when it was done. How can I tell if it needs rewiring or should it be done anyway? I'm concerned that if I get an electrician in, he is going to say it needs doing whatever.
What would be a reasonable cost for a complete rewire of a tiny 2 bed cottage? (North UK)
