Can I move down south?

I would possibly charge £2400 (less if unoccupied) for this (no making good, but rewire plastering is around £100-£200)

2k - 2.5k is the going rate around here too.

Sounds good - but I would suggest getting another price for comparison

And here... £2K empty, £2500 if occupied (takes longer) + wall heaters + external lights.

Thanks for this. Yes, tax for the deep south coast perhaps. Is it the case that a local electrician who has worked on, if not this house, but a sister house, would be one to target for a proper job properly quoted? I mean, how much of your work is determined by recommends?

Is that good for just London, do you think? I'm down Portsmouth way, perhaps still within striking distance to demand the tarrif.
