Do you mean just swapping over the wall plate or moving the socket?
If you're just changing the wall plate i think you're all good. You can move the socket yourself too but i think you have to get it signed off by your local authority (or get someone registered to do it...).
Not in Scotland but that's what I'm doing today too. Some lovely Gira sockets recommended in this very thread. Pretty sure in England you can replace like for like yourself (unsure anyone actually know?)
Can I replace a socket myself? Without needing an electrician's involvement. In Scotland.
