Had an electrical check carried out on the house I'm buying (built in mid 60s) as the vendors had no electrical certs.
They have found that none of the lighting is earthed and there has been some dodgy splitting of sockets done.
They recommend a full rewire at cost of £2.5k -£3k. Not including any replastering.
The house appears well maintained so I didn't expect that anything like this would be required.
Would you think it acceptable for the vendors to accept a reduction in the price? My accepted offer was only 2% below the asking price.
