Older Watsonia homes and why their wiring matters
Watsonia is an established suburb in the City of Banyule with many post-war and 1960s–70s homes, alongside newer townhouses and units built on subdivided blocks.
The older houses can still have original wiring, rewireable fuses and few or no safety switches. Some have had partial upgrades over the years without anyone checking the full system.
Newer units and townhouses are usually more modern, but buyers and investors still want confidence that everything was done properly and has been looked after.
