In reply to mypyrex:
I'm not trying to be unhelpful, but unless you're qualified you should not be adding electrical equipment to the property. You can replace things, ie a socket, or light fitting, but you cannot add extra sockets, lights, etc. without it being signed off by a qualified electrician.
This isn't a comment on your competency, I'm sure you can do it, but about following the regulations. Your home insurance and mortgage may depend on that. Unless you own your own home already and don't rent out part or all of it, in which case, crack on.
