Any sparkies about? House wiring question

[lewisdmz]

Hello,

Good to see the club is still going strong! Looking for some independent advice on house wiring.

We're looking at buying a house and the survey has come back that the fusebox is the old style where you actually have to change the wire in the fuse (no RCDs).

This would suggest the rest of the wiring is going to be equally dated, but aside from being a bit of a pain in the arse to change, is this an issue to be concerned about?

There are other issues on the survey so we're going to try and re-negotiate the price, but I just wanted to some independent opinions before I speak to the estate agents.

Thanks in advance
