oh dear, a potentially overloaded socket i think not. the danger there is the shear number of connections

my bad. the picture of the socket with adapters adding numerous outlets and lots of plug tops/appliances plugged in to what was intentionally a single socket for a single appliance connection

 

[Manator]

Yes it is bad, and it is strangely overlooked when doing a PIR, for some reason.

 

[steptoe]

some people think a PIR stops at the socket, when in fact, IMO anyway, it should take into consideration the surrounding area and the general conditions,

this is why on rental properties I only give 2 years max, and on for sale properties 1 year, I have no idea what the next tenant/owner may well decide to plug in, or do.
