moving consumer unit help

[Welshsparky]

Been asked to move a consumer unit by a local estate agent as ( believe it or not ) its tucked behind a kitchen unit , only accessible by taking part of the kitchen out! , it's an old rewire able fuse board , if I am to move it, would I be required to change it to an updated rcd protected version? Or if the fuse boards still in good shape could I re-use?
