Boiler report, Problem?

[mattgriff88]

Hi

I am potentially buying a house but the below has been written on an inspection carried out on the boiler.

"Boiler not fitted to manufacturers instructions.
Open vent boiler installed on a pressurised system.
Flue twisted and allowing rainwater ingress and pump not wired to boiler circumventing the boilers purge and post circulation functions."

How serious is this and will it be costly to put right?

Thanks

If that's whats on the report - take 5k of the asking price.

Sounds like a botch up of a boiler installation.

Hopefully, for your sake, it may be a botch up of the report.

How big is the house and the boiler size?
It may be even substantially more for a larger boiler.

What the make of the boiler ?

Have you tried asking the person who wrote the report how much they'd budget to remedy the problems?

Bad installations can be expensive to remedy. There may be some feature of the house that makes doing a proper job difficult, which is why corners were cut in the first place.

Thanks for the replies so far.

The boiler is a vokera mynute 15 vhe.
4 bedroom house, En Suite plus a bathroom.

I didn't organise the report the seller did so I will try and get some sense out of them later today.

Tried calling the company that done the report and its a one man band who is currently on holiday

Think I am going to arrange someone myself to give me a full quote on the issues.
