Surely it's just part of the boiler commissioning? IE you can't commission it if the flue doesn't meet regs?

It’s to do with property on the Dulwich estate, you have to apply for a flue and plume kits are not allowed.
I noticed the flue was high up between the kitchen and bathroom windows and very close to 30cm but not easy to measure on the 6th floor, it’s probably building regs legal as the plume has a bend in it moving it away from the closest window but looking at the drawing on the certificate it’s not leaseholder legal as it’s in the wrong place.

indemnity insurance which was around £250.
was a bit pissed to discover we paid for that not the seller, i blame the solicitor though in fairness she did sort it to cover internal work should it ever be picked up by leaseholder.
The brickwork would have to reinstated on the 6th floor so really could have been a nightmare.
I spotted the flue was quite close to a window (probably illegal) and had a plume kit fitted (against the estate rules) and pestered for a copy of the flue certificate the day we offered but didn't get it until 5 months later 2 weeks before exchange...
