[QUOTE="phil d, post: 477512, member: 27126"] Not rewiring could really affect the selling price, people may view, a lot may not if it says in the sales stuff that the house needs a rewire, then it's how much they'll knock you down by. A rewire may only be 2 or 3k, but add to that re-plastering, re-decorating etc and it all adds up. those that it doesn't put off completely may offer you anything up to £10k less, then it's whatever else a survey throws up. A lot of people are not practical today, they don't do diy, so they look at the cost of getting plasterers in, painters and decorators etc and it all adds up. As others have said, it would be better to get the work done before you sell, that way you can avoid a lot of problems. [/QUOTE]
