I am buying a house with fire damage and awaiting the surveyors report?

Question

there was a fire in the bathroom caused by the boiler, there has been a new boiler fitted, but the fire looks worse than it is. mostly smoke damage. But it has burnt a few fittings like light fittings. would i need to re-wire the whole house or could just the few switches be fixed.

Answer 1

Wait for the surveyors report, if the house has been rewired in the last 20 years then just repair whats broken otherwise get the whole lot done.

You can redecorate in the bathroom, but you need to know what damage has been done say to the walls and roof joists. You might need to replace plaster-boarding.
