Leeds's rapid Victorian growth as a wool and textile centre left the city with a huge stock of housing that predates modern wiring regulations by well over a century, much of it rewired at least once already but often only partially - a kitchen redone in one decade, original circuits left everywhere else.
Why a site visit matters
Because of that patchwork history, an electrician genuinely can't give an accurate full-rewire quote for a Leeds terrace without inspecting it first. Treat a fixed quote given without a visit with some caution - it usually means an assumption is being made that surfaces as an extra cost once work starts.
HMOs need extra care
Given how much of Leeds's older terraced stock, particularly around Headingley and Hyde Park, is let as student housing, rewiring work in a House in Multiple Occupation needs to meet specific HMO electrical safety standards on top of the standard EICR - worth confirming with the electrician if that applies to your property.
