I think it would help to give much more info: area of the country, type of
construction (eg solid concrete floors or suspended timber or what?),
whether electric cooker or electric shower or both needed, etc. Then someone
much more knowledgeable than me (not difficult!) should be along to give you
advice.

Yorkshire area - late 50s semi, suspended ceiling. No electric cooker
or shower. Wooden floors, with void underneath ground level.

What planet do you live on??

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "Stephen Dawson"
saying something like:

I recently had a v.small 3 bed terraced house in S.London done for
£2000 + VAT which I thought was a very reasonable price.

How many sockets did you get in each room for that ?

Was this as part of a bigger overhaul which had replastering doen
separately? If not, did the £2000 include cutting out old buried cable and
making good over the new - for example, for light switches - please? (I'm
thinking of tackling the lighting circuits in a small 1890s terrace -
despite the perils of Part P - but fear the plastering as I know swathes
will come down.)

Included 3 or 4 sockets in each room and about 10 in kitchen (total
about 30) and about 12 new lights/switches. Plus fan in bathroom, 1
exterior light and 1 in loft) Old cables dug out and new ones chased
in and rough mix plastered (not including finished plastering). The
electricians I spoke to were unwilling to commit to making good with
final plaster coat. Partly because not their skill, partly beacuse of
unknown state of existing plaster.

Mine was ~£2000 for a 1930's 3 bed semi in N. Wales. That included
extra sockets, new CU and smoke alarms.
