The question here is not what we would personally do but does he have to replace it.

I would not call it a complete rewire as we are reusing some of the original switches and sockets.
Exactly...…..and he does not have to replace it if he does not want to.The question here is not what we would personally do but does he have to replace it.
I think it's impossible to give an answer without fully seeing and testing the existing consumer unit. It may have the knockouts taken out in the top (so will not meet IP4x), it may have other holes in it so the IP requirement may not be met there. Inside it may have damage or just bits that are poor and need replacing. I could go on and on.
Nobody is disputing that. But the OP's question is not should he, it's does he have to in order to be compliant.Not read the thread but if I was doing a full rewire, all accessories and switch gear would be replaced aswell. Also its BG.
