I am interested in purchasing a flat in Scotland but have noticed a strong burning smell in the lounge area. A scheme 1 survey indicated that this 'might' be due to wiring. This being my first buy, I am not sure of the process of getting quotes from electricians to test this out. How much might the call out fee cost? And how am I supposed to get the best quote without having to pay several call out fees to get more than one estimation?
If the wiring were to be at fault, roughly how much am I looking at paying to get it fixed? It is a one bedroom flat with a large lounge/dining/kitchen area.
