I've just bought a house which was built in 1965.
At what point does a rewire become necessary?

When it's a) illegal (which yours might be)

Why would an existing installation be illegal?

Regulations change.

But it doesnt affect existing installations, otherwise 50%+ of houses in
the Country wouldnt meet the regs.

Yes, and if those houses' wiring was examined by The Authorities it would be
condemned.

It happened to us, many years ago.
