There is no fixed age at which every home needs rewiring. The condition of the wiring and the demands placed on it matter more.
Arrange an inspection if you find damaged or deteriorating cable insulation, warm or scorched sockets and switches, repeated tripping, or an older installation with limited protection. Too few sockets and heavy use of extension leads can also be a reason to plan improvements. These signs call for an assessment; they do not automatically mean a full rewire.
If you are unsure, ask a qualified electrician to inspect and test the installation. An EICR can identify safety issues and help you decide whether repairs, a partial rewire or a full rewire are appropriate.
