That needs a new consumer unit and, by extension of, a rewire. A mixture of cartridge and wire fuses does not meet current regs at all. Also no RCD and a Economy 7 timer?
Avoid!
Mr_Sworld-

Nonsense. The fact it doesn't meet current regs is irrelevant - if it met regs at the time the work was done, it's fine from a regs POV now and into the future. It's a bit of a mish-mash, but it's been done reasonably neatly, so the workmanship that you can't see is probably OK too. No reason whatsoever to avoid.
A new consumer unit would be tidier, and MCBs and RCD protection will trip a bit faster than wired fuses, but I wouldn't see that as a great priority. If you're having other major work done - I think plumbing was mentioned - and you'd consider a rewire for other reasons (I bet a lot more sockets would be handy) then it is probably worth doing the rewire at the same time so you only have one lot of disruption and making good.
If I were doing it, I'd be contemplating getting rid of the E7, and probably running Cat5 and TV/video/music distribution throughout.

How does this look?
