๐ก๐ง Buying or selling a home? Donโt overlook the boiler and gas appliances!
Today I attended a property where the new owners had picked up their keys and moved in that very day. They asked me to check the boilerโand unfortunately, I found it in very poor condition.
The boiler was installed in 2019 and hadnโt been serviced since. The photos show the corrosion and staining found during the inspection. An unwelcome discovery on what should have been an exciting day.
Before you buy or sell:
โ
Buying? Ask for the boilerโs service history and arrange for a Gas Safe registered engineer to check the gas appliances before completing the purchase.
โ
Selling? Have your boiler serviced and gas appliances checked, so any issues can be identified and addressed before handing over the keys.
โ ๏ธ A boiler switching on and producing hot water doesnโt prove itโs safe or in good condition.
An inspection before moving day can help you avoid unexpected repair bills and give you a clearer picture of what youโre buying.
๐ฉ Message BQ Heating Engineer to book a boiler service or gas appliance safety check.
