so the house already has some ethernet wall sockets which I believe were installed when 100Mbps was more common. The cable current in used seemed to indicate that's it's not gigabit capable. I want to rewire it to CAT6. Do I need to change the sockets as well?

I looked at eBay at several wall sockets supposedly designed for CAT6 but I can't see any difference to my untrained eye.

Thank you for the help. :)

Based on experience, you're unlike to find any trouble using existing sockets and maybe some of the cables as well (as long as they have all 4 pairs instead of just 2). I have used many old dodgy cables in my GbE setup and very rarely had problems (at short distances at least).
