I lived in a flat with 60s wiring that was due for a rewire and it caught fire, due to the insulation on the wiring degrading and creating a short inside a wall cavity.

I’d also want to know why it needs a new fuse box.
(IANAE)Modern consumer unit with RCDs and MCBs vastly reduces the risk of being electrocuted or other electrical incident such as short circuit leading to fire.

Why does it need rewiring. My parents were told years ago the house needed rewiring, never bothered doing it zero issues. Ours appears to have much of the wiring from the sixties when it was modernised, again no problems.
