Can I re-wire my property with minimum disruption and money?

Question

Hello. We completed the refurbishment of our new home 15 months ago including some new circuits and all new electrical plugs, and light switches. It is ex-council property. We just found out that the electrical system is unsafe and could cause electrocution as there is no earthing in some of the circuits.
We have now run out of time and money to do a new wired system and are wondering what direction to take. I am pretty nervous to live in the property considering we have a 5yo daughter.

What alternative options could I consider?

Have u had a periodic inspection at the property? I would start from that if I was you. I always suggest customers to have an inspection first before they do any electrical work at the property ad you might not need a full rewire. Depending on the test results your earthing issu6 could be resolved with minimum disruption.

Hey there, the answer is yes you could do a full rewire with trucking systems all around your property. Statically you will be able to see the trucking however you will have a full rewire with minimal damage to your walls and ceilings. Hope that helps!

I would have an EICR report done first testing 100% of the property . This should give you full clarity on the existing installation . 
At a cost of around £180
