I have a small rental out in Essex that has very slowly but surely looked after itself for many years. Rented out once again to a nice chap who moved in a month ago and all was good with the world. Boiler was inspected prior to the tenant moving in and everything passed with the usual flying colours. Email from the managing agents yesterday stating that the tenant had reported no central heating or hot water. Agent sends plumber in who says that a new boiler is needed as a result of the existing one having shat itself. Plumber says that he catch patch it up for £1000 + VAT, or install a new one for £2500 + VAT...
The same plumber was in last month and gave it completely clean bill of health.

Methinks there's some skullduggery afoot...
