Moving house is fun at the best of times but can uncover a range of domestic issues that need immediate attention. For a house owner this can also cause extra expense as some mortgage lenders require that all electrical work has been carried out to specific regulations and tested to confotm to British Standards. If the electrical work does not mee the required standards the mortgage lender may decide to reduce the loan amount or not lend the new owners the money to buy your house.

Moving into an older 1950s house that has not been refurbished is a clear indication that electrical work needs modernising. The previous owner might have considerred themselves a DIY expert and added to the ring mains without spuring off properly. It is quite common to see cookers being powered off the ring instead of having their own higher rated and protected circuit.

On smelling burning, it is a clear indication that something is wrong and should be investigated immmediately to prevent a blown applicance or worse an electrical fire.

The first thing to do would be to turn off the power and to call an electrician to come an investigate. With their modern test equipment they can soon find faults with a houses wiring and recommend a solution. This might range from replacing the wiring to adding a new consumer unit. The new style of consumer units have RCD that trip the electricity preventing electrical faults from damaging equipment or causing fires due to short circuits etc. They replace th older fuse wire type fuses that relied on the current to burn throught the fuse wire to break the circuit, thus preventing further damage.
