We're moving and the buyer of our modern house (just over 10 years old) had a visual inspection done on the electrics which threw up issues with the RCDs. They are saying they need to be replaced for safety and are quoting ~£500 to fit a new consumer unit which my buyer is asking us to get done.
Apart from the price seeming steep and the fact I'm not sure if this is all required or about bringing it up to current regs, I've not been in this position. Is it the kind of thing a seller would expect to do as a matter of course, or would refuse, or what? Is there an etiquette here?
(If anyone's up on these things I can give the techy details if they're interested)
