Fuse box at home
#8


Just based on your posted picture there's no way to tell you what circuits are (potentially, assuming they still work) protected by your breakers. The installation is not to current standard and will not pass a Part P test (unless there's a RCD out of shot somewhere, possible but unlikely). Unlike gas installations which require a safety test and certification annually for rental properties, there's currently no requirement for an equivalent electrical certification. If a tenant were to be injured (or worse) through an electrical incident due to an aged, neglected or faulty installation it would lead to a fair bit of grief for the owner / responsible person.


In order to answer your posted question I suggest buying one of these:

and, while only one circuit at a time is livened, walking round and seeing what goes live and making notes. I would also suggest employing the services of a local sparky to advise on the state and condition of the entire installation.
is it clean enough?
