Mine asked for that. I said no, it was never mentioned again.

I'd just hack one of those if you want something nicer. The circuit inside is normally super simple.

That's basically what these are doing

Sadly not exchanged yet otherwise I might have been a little more blunt in my response.

Ashp grants have gone up - are they worth it yet?

I have been wondering exactly the same thing. I concluded* the answer was, it depends how insulated your house is....

*Read somewhere

You can buy what I assume will be a stevie wonder boiler service off groupon for 55 or 60 quid. I'd be treating your buyer to one of those if you have to dance to their tune.

They seem like the ones more likely to need loads and loads of expensive work to fix the problems they "find"

Blimey, I got a boiler service for our Buyer when we sold our flat in the summer. They didn't outright ask, but It seemed like something they were a bit flappy about on the two viewings they did with me. Cost me £93.60 (in London) to give them a bit of peace of mind, hardly earth shattering money in the scheme of things.

You cant get them till April though?

Fair enough if it hasn't been looked at for a couple of years. If it was installed last year and has been notified...less so.

If buyers really want peace of mind on this stuff then they can pay a third party to do an inspection. It's not like issues with heating start and end with the boiler.

Revenant I see another house has come on, on Wanstead Park avenue. Probably another utterly grim shit hole being sold by an elderly and greedy cunt who wants to rinse some poor prick for the next 35 years of the purchasers working life.

Depends what you are replacing and bear in mind you might need to replace rads etc.

Ashp grants have gone up - are they worth it yet?

If you've got a cold, draughty house they don't really work. You'll need a lot of remedial work done before they become a good bet.

They work well in places that are

• well sealed
  
• large heating surfaces, i.e. wet underfloor heating
  
• well insulated to retain heat
  
  

or

• you can't get gas for whatever reason to replace an oil fired boiler

I agree with your sentiments but we will still go and see it.

hmm why r u naked?

Mother fucker, when you get an email alert that someone has replied with that comment and you can't remember what photo you posted.

can't remember what photo you posted.

We don't need to know what you've been posting to Mumsnet.

You never answered my question over there. Is it something I should go to the doctor with or will it clear up by itself?

Ours did the same, 4 year old boiler. We just did it to keep things moving forward but it was only 60 or 70 quid.

photo 15/27 is something special

🤣

They all are? But it's the only one with "beware big rat trap" in it.
Thats a lot of old stuff in there.

Yeah that was photo 15/27 for me. Absolute gold

There's more layers the more you look. Meghan Markle, Wills and Kate, Churchill, Bernie Ecleston and Danielle Westbrook?!? newspaper cuttings on the cabinet doors.

Why does everything have raffle tickets on it!
