I would say it depends how happy you would be to live with the disruption and also what the sparky says.
The CU will probably be the easiest job of the lot.

That will be the trojan horse.
I can't really think what it would be like to live in it. I've done a labouring job on a hole house refurb where the clients were living in, but they were out working full time and didn't have any kids/pets. I only saw them a handful of times. Actually, I only met one of them.
Current thoughts are just get everything moved as that is unavoidable. We can't store everything for a couple of weeks (again, cats, kid) while it happens and wouldn't even be able to fully plan or quote before moving. Once we have all our stuff in it should be easier to judge.

Floorboards, mostly. I suppose it all depends on what the spark says. Plan is to get them in to quote for a CU replacement but also say we want to discuss a rewire (from previous advice here, one might rely on the other). Then see if they recommend any circuits over any others or if they insist on the whole lot. Then see how liveable it would be or if we need to move out for a bit (difficult with an 18 mth old and two cats who will need settling in).
It's also a case of what do we do with all our shit. If it has to be shuffled around extensively, then we hold off unpacking. But then if it's not going to be done for 6 months, I don't want to live out of boxes for too long.
I'm sure there's a balance somewhere.
