Using one neutral for multiple rooms

Ok, so you could run neutral wires from the cu to the light switches?

That would be ok, you can run two neutral wires from the cu, and run them to their respective light switches.

It sounds like the hall, kitchen and living room switches are probably fed from the same breaker (on the same circuit) in the distribution board. You can test this easily by turning off the breaker and seeing which lights go out. If that is the case, then a single neutral from the hall light to the switch position will be all you need. Is your house two floors? If so, the second breaker is probably for the upstairs lights.

One floor with a stair down to my own front door so lights are split between 2 breakers

Sorry no access to any switches the upstairs (attic) is floored. So I only have access to the hall ceiling light as I am lowering the ceiling
