Why Wigan Families Are Rewiring Their Homes Before Selling – And You Should Too

Jun 08, 2025

If you're planning to sell your home in Wigan, there’s one upgrade that can add serious value and boost buyer confidence: a full house rewire.


In today’s market, more and more Wigan homeowners are choosing to rewire their properties before listing them. Why? Because updated electrics not only improve safety and energy efficiency – they also make your home more attractive to modern buyers.


At GHE Electrical, Fire and Security LTD, we’re the trusted local electrician specialists serving families, landlords, and property managers across Wigan. While we’re widely known for our robust fire and security systems, our domestic rewiring services help homeowners prepare their property for a smooth and profitable sale.


⚡ Why Rewiring Before Selling Makes Sense


1. Outdated Wiring Can Be a Red Flag for Buyers

Old or unsafe wiring is one of the most common issues flagged in home surveys. For buyers, this raises concerns around safety, insurance, and future repair costs – all of which can delay or even derail a sale.


2. It Adds Real Market Value

A rewired home gives buyers peace of mind that the electrics are modern, compliant, and future-proof. In competitive Wigan property listings, this can be a standout feature that justifies a higher asking price.


3. You Avoid Last-Minute Renegotiations

Without updated electrics, buyers might request a price reduction once the survey is in – or ask you to foot the bill for future rewiring. Handling it in advance gives you greater control over the process.


4. It Enhances Safety and Energy Efficiency

Modern wiring not only complies with current regulations but can also improve energy efficiency. This is a win-win for buyers looking to reduce bills and avoid future problems.


5. A Selling Point for Modern Living

Many Wigan families want homes that are ready for smart tech, EV chargers, and modern appliances. Rewiring opens the door to those options and shows your home is ready for the future.
