OK. I can let the place with a 1930s electrical system then? If you say
so.
That would not be appropriate and you would be taking an extreme risk.
It is also highly unlikely that any normal domestic premises would still
have a 1930's installation still in use, because it simply would not be
adequate and serve modern needs.
The main problems with a 1930s would be the stae of the insulation on the
cable - probably VIR. It would also have wire fuses, possibly on bothe live
& neutral/
I would suggest the vast majority (99%) of installations are at least
post 1985.
My own installation is early 1980s tidy up of, probably, 1970s wiring with
some later additions - kitchen in 1989, for instance.
