A 26-year old installation is unlikely to require a complete rewire but a
full inspection and test is probably in order. It might be worth
considering replacing the consumer unit with a modern split-load one. It
is also quite likely that the number of socket outlets will be
insufficient for the number of electronic devices in most homes these
days.
What does a split load CU (as opposed to single) do, please ?

And why would you replace a single (maybe fused) with a split load one ?
