Liverpool's older housing - Georgian townhouses in Canning, Victorian terraces across Wavertree and Aigburth - typically predates modern wiring regulations by well over a century, and has usually been rewired at least once already, often only partially.
Why an inspection matters more than the quote
Given how much of the city's housing has a patchwork wiring history - part rewired in one era, original circuits left elsewhere - an electrician genuinely can't give an accurate quote without inspecting the property first. Be cautious of a fixed price given without a site visit.
What a proper job includes
A full rewire should include a new consumer unit, complete new cabling, socket and switch replacement, and an EICR at completion, carried out by a NICEIC or NAPIT registered electrician. Georgian Quarter listed properties may need extra care around protecting original features while running new cabling - worth asking about specifically.
