Documents
Ask for boiler details, installation and commissioning records, service history, warranties and evidence of recent heating work.
Buying a property
What heating checks should I make before buying a house?
Heating condition can affect comfort, disruption and future cost. A buyer can review available records and visible information, but this does not replace a professional Heating Survey.
Useful checks with permission
Operation and condition
With authorised access, note controls, radiator performance, visible leaks, pressure behaviour, noise and any reported recurring faults.
Professional evidence
A professional Heating Survey can examine agreed areas and report observed findings within its stated scope and access limits.
Access and scope matter
Do not drain, sample, dismantle or operate equipment without the seller’s or authorised person’s permission. A visual checklist or customer-led water Assessment does not certify safety, compliance or the absence of hidden defects and does not replace gas, electrical, structural or other specialist inspections.
