It would seem here, the path of least resistance....no pun intended, would be to engage an electrician and be done with it....

 

 

I mean I literally have asked three times now for suggestions for one. I'm not from this country, I'm extremely stressed and I already stated I would. I just don't want to get ripped off in my grief and have zero clue how much something as simple as changing a single light switch should cost in this country. Hence me reaching out for suggestions

 

Everything I've googled has only given me things for electricians that want to rewire an entire bloody house, which is precisely what I don't need and can't bloody afford. I have tried numerous times to google for someone that's willing to do a single, simple job, but most aren't going to want to do that. Hence me asking for suggestions. My stress level is through the effing roof right now. 

 

I hear you, and dont wish to make it any more stressful than it is.  Went through similar when my FIL passed

The situation you are in, at face value doesn't allow you to replace it if not the "owner" or a director of the trust that owns it.

Can't recomend you do it yourself.......can't stop you, either. 

Quick call to a local sparkie might be what you need to progress, to be able to articulate the requirements over the phone or a quick in person inspection

Don't take it as all bad based on google searches, if we all did that, we'd all have cancer and be dead already
