Property buyer
Pre-purchase boiler inspection across Somerset
A homebuyer's report says 'appliance not tested'. That's fine for most fittings, but not for a £3–5,000 asset like the boiler and hot-water system. A pre-purchase inspection tells you what you're actually buying.
For: Buyers about to exchange on a Somerset home
What we deliver
A written report with photos: boiler make, model, install date if visible, condition, expected remaining life, and any obvious defects. If there's a cylinder, we cover that too. You then negotiate with facts, not guesses.
Included in the report
- Model, age and warranty status
- Visual and combustion check where safe
- Cylinder, tank and control condition
- Estimated cost to replace like-for-like
- Written PDF report within 48 hours
Frequently asked
- How long does the visit take?
- 60–90 minutes on site. Report follows within 48 hours.
- Do I need the vendor's permission?
- Yes — usually your estate agent arranges access. Most vendors say yes, and the ones who don't are telling you something.
- What does it cost?
- Roughly the price of an annual service. Cheap versus discovering a £3k boiler surprise a month after completion.
