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.

    Many thanks for the really helpful replies, I now have a better appreciation of the factors involved, and I get the impression that the price is in the right ballpark.

    For information, the house will be unoccupied whilst the work is carried out although there will be some furniture, and other building work being done.  It has suspended floors, but some boards in roughly the right places will be raised anyway.  I don’t know if the electrician is VAT registered, I will find out (the builder isn’t, small local builder, uses local tradesmen and supplies).
