there is conflicting info online as to whether adding sockets to a 1970s
install is possible.
Of course it is possible.

It should be pointed out that even though it was OK at the time of installation, it is not OK now for new sockets.Of course you can. Its done all the time. The only issue is that the sockets are not RCD protected because you have an old style fuseboard. But that was OK at the time of installation.
Any seller with an IQ bigger than his shoe size would reject that.
The time for offers is when you first look at the house. Once a potential buyer has made an offer, and invested money in the purchase, the seller knows that any further lower offer based on something as trivial as needing electrical work is just trying it on.
Yes probably ishi guess a pir for a 5 bed house will be around the 250 mark.
Waste of time and money.think may put in an offer with the caveat that i will request a discount if pir comes back with total rewire necessary.
As the OP has said, it is possible to make 'qualified' offers - and I've certainly seen that done when there were uncertainness as regards potentially high-cost remedial work. For example, an offer of "£X minus the cost of replacing the roof (or underpinning the building, or whatever), if my survey indicates that is necessary".Even if you got some dubious 'inspection' which did say that, it won't make any difference - if you make an offer, it confirms you are willing to pay that price.
