The aren't banned per-se, however they don't provide RCD protection and with the possible exception of upper floor flats lack of any RCD protection for sockets will almost certainly get you an "unsatisfactory" on an EICR.Would the old fuse box pass eicr? Or are these banned for landlords?
Sell it.Still in 2 minds wether to rent out or not or just sell. Inherited tge property month ago.
Slightly blinkered comment I feel.Sell it.
House prices are not going to be increasing, you don't need the property, and remedials to meet rental standards will cost a non-trivial amount.
Then there's the possibility of tenants causing damage, problems and so on.

Surely that is the best time to rent out.Slightly blinkered comment I feel.
My fuse boxes (Wylex) were fed from 30 mA RCD's and all fuses swapped for MCB's so see no reason why it should fail.Would the old fuse box pass eicr? Or are these banned for landlords?
I looked at all the exams, rules and regulations and decided it was not worth the hassle. The third option was to use a letting agent, so I did not need to take course and pass exams, but when the letting agent visited the list of items they wanted correcting was silly, for example rip out the two pan hob and fit a four pan hob, which would then be too close to oven or boiler, and move all work tops up to standard height all were lowered for disabled mother, so in essence they wanted a new kitchen fitted.Still in 2 minds wether to rent out or not or just sell.

more than slightly realistic opinion I feel, yes sell itSlightly blinkered comment I feel.
Keep it if you possibly can, property is still the best long term investment, you will not regret it in 10 years time when the price has doubled .Still in 2 minds wether to rent out or not or just sell. Inherited tge property month ago.
