Yes you can move it your self or get a contractor to move it for you.

There is no law to prevent you from doing that and Openreach or BT will not have any idea where every master socket was installed in every property in the UK.

All you need to be aware of is that if you move it and something goes wrong and causes damage or problems with your connection or the Openreach network you will be charged the cost of repairing it.
