Selling house with self installed boiler

[Ed Sirett]

Not _every_ job just those with new or replaced appliances. However they have made this easy by allowing members to do this for a £2.50 a job.

I sold a house in Feb last year in which I had installed a combi. Only question I was asked was /when/ the boiler had been fitted.

Buyer was buying to let so would have had to get it all checked and certificated anyway.

Don't tell them you installed the boiler yourself!!!

The shop will of course obtain the customer's agreement to pass on their personal information to a third party in accordance with the Data Protection Act, and give the customer the opportunity to opt out of receiving marketing communications from CORGI.

Who do they think they are, TV Licencing?

How long has this been the case?

I assume that if someone checked with Corgi, and they had no record of it being installed, and the local authority didn't have any details of it, then they can assume it was dodgy?

likely to

Speaking as one who sold my Dad's house two weeks ago, the purchasers and their solicitors were more interested in a 30 year old extension than any of the (1) re-wiring, (2) new windows, (3) new central heating, (4)new gas fires all of which were done in the last five years or less.

I wouldn't worry unless it bites you.

God they'll be defining what a job is next. Is a service/maintenance contract a single job or is it a job per visit? How many visit will I be allowed per job?

I can see it now.

It's call progress.

[Andy Hall]

It's called unnecessary interference in your life.....

Phone British Gas to sign up for their "homecare" insurance, they send round an engineer who does an 'initial check' and issues a nice letter headed 'certificate' to say the system is 'sound'.

A couple of weeks later the contract drops on the doormat, cancel it under the 'cooling off' clause and, hey presto, a free certificate of soundness.

Since 1/4/5.

It's already been done - check out the gas regs, where 'Gas Work' is defined.

Is a service/maintenance

I was using the term 'job' in an informal sense - the wording is 'where a heat producing appliance [1] is installed or exchanged.

I suppose technically it is when a new appliance is commissioned. So recommissioning, repairs, servicing, removal (? must check this out) and inspection notification is not required.

[1] Now would that include gas fridges or not?

[Ed Sirett]

That'll serve the smarmy b*ggers right. 8-)

Good plan! I think we have a winner in the 'what should I do' stakes :o)

Much appreciated!
