Survey shows flat electrics 20 years old- is this a problem?
Comments

Presuming the flat itself is around 20 years old, a lot of people would still class that as a new build! I heard someone on the telly refer to an 1980s' house as a 'new build' the other day! Did make me smile! Our house is around 8 years old and I think of that as almost brand new still (we're the 2nd owners)!
It's really just the surveyor covering his own back. If you want to get it inspected, that's fine, but I certainly wouldn't expect a rewire!

Hi All, thank you very much for the very detailed responses, it has been extremely helpful.
We have decided that on the whole the electrics are likely to be okay, but will have someone take a slightly more detailed look at the consumer unit just to make sure there isnt anything obvisouly wrong.
It seems that it will be fine, but you never can tell and its certainly worth a small outlay to give peace of mind.
Thanks to all that took the time to read and respond to my questions!0
