Property age and previous alterations matter
Older homes may have installations from several different upgrade periods, while extensions and conversions can add later circuits onto an older core installation. Explain what you know about previous electrical work and where access is restricted.
Ask about the correct certification. Some domestic electrical work is notifiable under Building Regulations. A competent electrician should be able to explain whether the work is notifiable and what certificate or documentation you will receive.
