Rewiring a house, cost advice please

davidwalker2
I would be very grateful for some advice about the cost of rewiring a house. I have a builder’s contract electrician quote a price of £6700 for the rewire of a house I have purchased in Devon.  It is terraced, has two bedrooms, lounge, kitchen/family room, loo, two en-suite bathrooms and includes a new cu.  Does this sound about right?  The builder is not taking a cut, he is happy to get paid for the work he is doing.

    simply you get what you pay for. If you want a race to the bottom, fair enough. As on the old forum, there is this immediate presumption that Electricians are expensive, so you go for the cheap "headline price" and complain of Badger work later.  However, with say " proper plumbers" , they are not so likely to engage in this race to the bottom, so more uniform in price .  

    This is a "rewire". Not an off the shelf product like, say, a 1st and 2nd fix of a new build working to a fixed spec.
