please explain thought the house had to have an rcd board.the board at min is an old fuse wire fused board

it does not have to have a RCD board. but if replacing the existing board, then you need to fit a dual RCD, or RCBO board to comply with current regs. as said previously, visual inspection, lift off accessories, make sure cpc's connected. PIR on whole install. then as long as cable is pvc, not rubber, and tests confirm that the circuits are healthy, you can go ahead and just replace the fuse board and any dodgy fittings. upgrade main earthing and bonding as necessary.. then a EIC for the work done.

If he's just going to sell it on why bother even testing it? Just change the old accessories and fittings for new ones, cover the old CU with a piece of ply and mount a new CU on that. stick on a few stickers and date the next inspection for 2020. It's then a new installation. Job done. Seen it plenty of times.
