Survey Electrics Question

[tntcoder]

Hi,

A survey I had done stated the following regarding the house's electrics.

- Installation may not be in strict accordance with current regulations - normally advised that an installation is inspected every ten years.
- No evidence seen of any current inspection certificates
- The wiring to external lights around the corner of the house is protected in plastic ducting but the ducting is significantly deteriorated and should be replaced.

Is this something I should be concerned about? External lights are no big deal, but I have no idea how significant an inspection certificate is? Can it cause insurance problems?

House is late 1920s - I guess probably original wiring.

Thanks

Ok thanks a lot, I haven't quite finalised the property purchase yet. I guess I was wondering if I should ensure that an inspection is done before sealing the deal. If it's likely just a matter of a few hundred quid at some point in the future then i'm not too bothered and would rather not delay things.
