Not 100% on this second bit but I do know it affects light fixtures, I'm aware that some maintenance voids home insurance if not carried out by a certified electrician, as above, light fixtures are the ones I'm aware of but it would make sense to affect wall sockets too, maybe someone else can confirm.

Would this not suffice? Can click around to tone the amount of ports down.
How would it affect light fixtures?

All it is is a wall plate with the 5v transformer built in, saving you having to plug a 5v transformer into one of the three-pin sockets.

I have never seen one of these up close, but I assume the socket plate requires a slightly deeper back box to accommodate the transformer. I would say that as long as the OP is confident he can fit one into his existing back box, or is competent to change the back box if necessary, then there is no reason not to go for it.
