If you're chasing the wall you are going to be flouting the rules a bit because cables should only be running horizontally or vertically from visible outlets on the wall. I have done this going round corners myself but strictly speaking it's not allowed. There is an area at the edges of walls where wires can be run without accessories visible on the surface but that doesn't apply in your case.
Normally you would go down, under the floor and back up to get to where you want the socket. Depending on the subfloor type you can create access hatches or lift boards and pull the wires through.

Work is starting this week on my new built in cabinet. Finalised the design and have all the necessary wood.
Only thing I haven't done is spur a socket. As the picture so beautifully shows, I'll be spurring the socket and creating a new one on that corner. The wall I'll be chasing is dot and dab with probably 10mm behind the plasterboard. The wall for the new socket is plasterboard with no insulation behind (small loft space in the eaves).
I assume trunking is required? Any tips for what's best to use to secure the trunking and fill accordingly?
