Think about it, no it does not. Imagine having to rewire a property
every five years, just to bring it up to current standards. Regulations
are not applied retro spectively. What met regulations at the time it
was installed, remains satisfactory now. Though it might be advisable
to bring an installation more up to date with current regulations.


OK. I can let the place with a 1930s electrical system then? If you say so.
