Reminds me of a house I nearly bought some years ago. My surveyor
turned me off it by saying the electrical wiring was potentially
lethal. Turned out that the house had been rewired about 6 months
previously by "professionals" from the local "Electricity Board".

Did you also check the surveyor's "professional" credentials ? :-)

My close friend was a senior BS surveyor, and if he was unsure about the
electric wiring of a property his report would recommend a specialist
inspection.
