[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 520334, member: 6969"] At the very least it NEEDS a new consumer unit, and I am suspicions of that 2 core cable exiting the supply head from the left hand fuse. IF they did a proper EICR they could determine the state of the existing wiring. It could then be anything from just a consumer unit swap to a full rewire, but nobody knows without that proper test and inspection. The reality is likely to be somewhere in between with earth bonding needing to be updating and some if the wiring okay and some needing repairs. In any event if they are going to do a full rewire (the issue of whether that is really needed is a discussion for the landlord to have, not you) the landlord should pay for removals and storage of your items and provide temporary alternative accommodation. The cost of doing that should focus his mind to check a full rewire really is necessary. The only bit of this that sounds like "persecution" is the landlord expecting you to pay for removals and storage and temporary accommodation. [/QUOTE]
