The real problems in most new houses (new flats from houses, &c.) are
the lack of "large number of outlets" (typically 2 double sockets per
room) & the sharing of RCDs across circuits. IMHO the regulations for
electrical work for someone else to use (i.e., for sale or rental)
ought to require something like a double socket every 3 metres (in
order to reduce the need for extension leads stretched all over the
place) & to prohibit shared RCDs (in order to reduce the frequency as
well as the impact of trips).


The IET do give guidlines as to the number of sockets per room.
