My friends and I are looking to buy a house, and we went to a showing today with a realtor and we found that the owners of the house MAY [[we don't know for sure]] have moved the breaker box from the basement to the garage. But what they did was they pretty much took the switches off and taped the wires so they were on all the time and woudln't shut off. The realtor and my friend's dad were saying something about big bucks to possibly re-wire the entire house. Does anyone know anything about this? What could have possibly happened here? Also, this problem wasn't included in this disclosure on the house, even though it will not pass inspection and is not up to code. Is there anything we could do about that, should we decide to get the house? And lastly, if we have to rewire, can anyone tell me about how much it will cost to rewire a house approximately 15-16k sq ft?
