It's an ok price,have you got enough sockets though?
3 doubles in front room doesn't sound like enough. Same for back room.
And kitchen, add up all the stuff that could be on in kitchen at any given time.
Is it being chased into plaster or is all plaster off? Redecorating after?
ETA 2doubles in each bedroom, that's poor63 mortgage payments to go.

No cooker connection in the kitchen? no mains interlinked smoke alarms? no extractor fan in the kitchen? no shaver socket in the bathroom (for electric toothbrush)? 8 spotlights in a bedroom (you would go blind with that amount of light). What about TV points, with a splitter in the loft? Loft lights?
what about making good?0
