WTF was the surveyor doing, or don't they look for this sort of problem
(considering that these wires are surface) ?

All the surveys I've ever seen say to get the wiring checked by a
specialist regardless.

Agreed. They (the surveyors) usually state the above sentance in the (very)
small print.

I wonder if the lead cables running from the fuse box are connected to
anything. It is not uncommon to see the old cables, lead or otherwise still
present without them serving any purpose. Electricians can be too lazy to
remove the old stuff.
