I am about to make a site move to https - my developers are doing this using a server-level rewriter and have said this means that redirects will be done automatically so no 301s are required from our old HTTP versions.

Please could you advise if this is correct advice?

This is a well-established site with quite a lot of backlinks and we obviously do not want to risk a big ranking drop.

I would update your sitemap with the new URLs containing HTTPS and submit that to the search engines.

The rewrite will change the URL without notifying the requester. But if the search engines see duplicate content, that could hurt search rankings too.
