Hi All,
I'm currently viewing a number potential properies to buy. One in
particular looks good but I've got doubts about the wiring. Hopefuly a
suryvey would pick up any major issues but I thought I'd air my feelings
with you guys.
The property was rewired under instruction from the current owners about 3-4
years ago. In attempting to put power into the garage, they've strung a wire
at about 8 foot height between the property and the detached garage which
carries mains power rather than laying one under the ground. To me this
seems a bit of a bodge. However, what is your view?. Is this appropriate/ok
and what are propects running something like a tumble dryer from it (which I
assume will pull a few amps)?.

Also, how do the new regulations on 'do it yourself' wiring effect the
purchasing of properties?. Should I be lookiong for some form of certificate
or paperwork associated with the work previously done on the property?.

Ta in adnavce,
Dave
