Suitcase

I've been thinking on what you said and the price of a pressure is around £70 so including fitting would come in around £200..This sounds more attractive especially with your suggestion of supplying heaters in a crisis Regards your second question. I bought the property without vacant posession as the sellers are waiting on their new build being completed . i agrred to let them rent it from me until then. once they move out (April 2021) I will be looking to find more permanent tenants.. I'm getting an education on here and I'm glad i registered.

The gas engineer who did the Gas safe certificate said the boiler wasnt worth repairing as its twenty years old. it wasnt so much the heating but the hot water i was concerned about. But i will take your comments on board. Thanks

Thanks for the comprhensive reply. Its left me a lot to think about..Making an inventory never crossed my mind. i wouldnt say its an executive property but a couple of people have said it should rent out at £800 so perhaps any prospective tenants would expect a few trimmings.. The garden will need some maintenace also, I suppose i could offer to cut the grass seeing as how its on the same block as me. Also the house has a double garage which is down the back street. I'm unsure whether to include use of this or use it for myself.

The present boiler is getting worn out ( pressure vessel gone) so id be happier with a new one that will cause me less hassle. as i understand that boiler faults require 24 hour repairs

thanks for the info there will be a fitted gas range and a washer dryer but nothing else at present. i suppise i could provide toasters kettles and the like, but im hearing things about PAT testing that sounds like added overheads.

when i eventually let my property do i have to provide any sort of appliances? i dont really want any additional burdens if things go wrong with them.

your right i went the wrong way it is currently D and would go up a bit into higher D..

asked the gas engieer to check the gas pipe size and he is confident that it is 22 mm.. it seems that i may have got the pipes mixed up!. however he says we can upgrade the pipe if neccessary when we replace the boiler. also he says the flue outlet is close to an opening window which is a fail but because the window and the boiler is in a utility room he says the regs arent as strict and he says on the certificate that its ok to use.. He has'nt condemned anyting or told the tenant not to use anything so I'm resonably happy. your thoughts?

many thanks for the replies the EPC i have is dated 2011 so im due to get a new one soon. also it recommends replacing the boiler to a condensing one.. this should bring the rating up a level to E at this rate im due to start making a profit by 2023 if all goes well

regarding the EPC's do they only last a fixed period? do you have to get a new one each time the tenant changes? thanks in advance

ive had the gas safety engineer round and he's passed the installation ok. thanks for your replies

i've booked the gas safe engineer for the first week in January..its the best i can manage given the situation . ill arrange a time with the teants so hopefully it'll go ok thanks for your replies everyone

i have arranged a gas safety inspection for the first week in January. The tenants are actually the people i bought it from and they are renting until March/ April whilst their new house is being built.. im getting gillty feelings about not having the gas safety done immediatley so i may change my mind and get it done sooner.. the fluless gas fire was fitted recenly by british gas and they have inserted a through vent in the outside wall of the room where the fire is fitted so there should be no concerns there. if the gas pipe needs replaced then i will wait till they move out and get a new boiler and new supply fitted thanks for your replies

thanks for the reply. i may end up doing that. regards

ive bought my neighbours houuse and intend to rent it out. i looked at the combi boiler worcester 24cdi and the gas supply pipe is 15mm when i have the gas safety checks carried out,will this be a problem? the property also has a gas range and a fluless gas fire . regards
