This is why a surveyor will recommend that you consult a local electrical contractor if they feel it necessary.

What should you do when the surveyor finds a defect that affects the property price?
This is a very difficult situation to be in. You have agreed a price with the seller not knowing of this issue and now have the issue of needing to revisit your offer.
The best advice is to inform the seller/estate agent of the issue you have uncovered, provide the specific information from the report from your Building Surveyor (not the full report) and then discuss a solution that accounts for the repair works.
