Main breaker box. Cabinet full of stuff, so couldn’t be moved. And it was bolted to the wall!

Also, still awaiting the quote from the roofer. Have contacted another couple if he’s not interested, awaiting contact back.

£3 grand? That isn't a full rewiring. Do you mean chases cut into all the walls and ceilings, new fuse box(es), new circuits, modern number of plugs, etc? I was looking at £6-8 grand for a three bed flat done to the councils spec.

If it is the full monty I would suggest getting the option wired up to have an electric car charging system set up later if needed. There is a bit of tom foolery to be done with the fuse system and circuits to later accommodate it.

Also ask a solar panel install company what they need to plug into your network and setting it up to make that easy.

Oh and consider while everything is open (the chases, floorboards, etc.) laying shielded Lan cables. They can go near but not on electric cables and will give you option of very fast home network (both my brother and I have retrofitted dwellings with cables behind skirting boards but it is a massive faff).

How much asbestos is likely to be about? Such a wonder material…

And that’s a £6,500 reduction on offer agreed. So back to Full Steam Ahead.

Really starting to look like I might be in before the end of summer. Also signed off the last paperwork for inheritance, so will soon have the cash monies in hand.

Thank you all for the advice so far! You’ve genuinely made a difference in helping me navigate this, hopefully, once in a lifetime event.

Woo, excellent news!

Nice! I hope you are right!

My conveyancing solicitors seem really on the ball, so should continue at a decent pace.
