My house seems to be divided into 3 new extensions. The old part of house, seems left and right. Obviously lights and sockets are on different trips.

I am not sure where in the world you are located, as the terms you are using are not those we use in Canada. However, I think you are describing a breaker tripping repeatedly for unknown reasons. Breakers wear out, and will then flip off very easily. They should be replaced when this starts to happen.
Are you sure that they are tripping out "for no reason"? Could there be something on the circuit that you aren't noticing, like a furnace cutting in or a refrigerator or freezer cutting in? Older homes, or those wired by people who are not certified electricians ( or perhaps, by lazy electricians) often have too many outlets and likes on one breaker.
In my home I have 5 outlets on one breaker - microwave, TV & related gadgets, Roomba, fridge, coffeemaker & toaster, &, at Christmas, tree lights. Needless to say, the breaker trips when one is not paying attention and tries to use microwave and the coffeemaker at the same time.
Perhaps you have a similar situation going on. If the cause is not easily figured out, I would suggest you call an electrician to investigate, as faulty wiring could cause a housefire.
