I am selling my house so I need to get my heating system working properly, when running on high setting on the boiler it kettles but on low it doesn't but the radiators don't get hot enough, the hot water is ok though any help would be appreciated as I dont really want to change the boiler

Best to change the pump should sort you out

Depends if the heat exchanger is clogged.

Selling your house with a old Myson (25+) boiler this is going to get picked up on a survey and potential buyers will be looking for a discount, better to replace boiler for a new one that then becomes a good selling point, New boiler with X years warranty

Thought it’s standard practice to move when the boiler needs replacing.

Depends on the house. When I bought mine, I think the survey (which I have sadly lost) said something like 'the heating was not inspected but the house appeared to be at a comfortable temperature at the time of inspection; the boiler appears to be a number of years old and I would recommend you have the system inspected by a CORGI registered blablabla' and I bought the house, without further inspection, because the radiators got hot and I was buying toward the lower end of the market anyway.

If I sold my house today (still the same boiler), I doubt I'd get the cost of a new boiler back, so I'd probably sell it with the existing one in place. I may be wrong, though.
