First-time home buyer. Offer accepted on an older (1950) home.

Inspector discovered the electrical panel needs full replacement. All the writing is ungrounded and will need to be replaced, including new receptacles. Luckily it appears the work can be done through the crawl space without needing to tear down any walls.

Additionally, the water heater (which also needs replacing) is right in front of the electrical panel and thus violating code.

Would you recommend asking seller to either partially or fully cover these costs?

There is also rodent damage in the attic and crawl, which we plan to ask the seller to cover.

Thanks for your thoughts!
