EICR Codes help for new Landlord.

Hi. I hope you are all well and keeping busy in these strange times. I look after a ladies house who has had to move back abroad and now needs to let the property out and so she has had an EICR done which has come back with saying it needs a total rewire for few grand. 


What I want to know is can I ask info on here about the codes he has put and if reasonable.


I don't won't to upset anyone by second guessing another trades persons work but I would like an idea if this is right or not?


Thanks you


Regards Lee

    Ridiculous codes although i suspect the conclusion of a rewire is probably correct if it's anything like most of the places i look at that are that age with original fixtures and fittings.  It is just not worth trying to repair anything and you certainly can't add on to it.    There are always hidden horrors and you just can't price to do anything except rewire.  I would not put my name to a satisfactory report on a 50+ year old domestic installation.  Individually things may me ok but as an entire installation it needs sorting out.
