Heating & Plumbing Checks Before You Sell
A known plumbing issue is easier to deal with before a buyer's surveyor finds it.
A known plumbing issue is easier to deal with before a buyer's surveyor finds it. Sorting a boiler fault, a slow leak or an out-of-date service record ahead of marketing avoids it becoming a last-minute negotiating point.
Dealing with issues before they surface in a survey
A boiler that hasn't been serviced in years or a visible drip under a cylinder is exactly the sort of thing a survey flags. Addressing it beforehand keeps the conversation on your terms.
What paperwork buyers ask for
A recent service record or an up-to-date gas safety document, where relevant, reassures a buyer that the system has been looked after.
What we need from you to quote
Whether you have any existing service records, the boiler make and age, and your marketing timescale.
Get your plumbing checked before listing
Tell us your boiler's age and any known issues and we will suggest what is worth addressing before you go to market.
Questions we get asked
Will fixing a small leak really matter to a buyer?
Small issues found by a survey are often used to renegotiate price, so dealing with them beforehand can avoid that conversation entirely.
Do I need a gas safety certificate to sell?
There is no legal requirement to hold one to sell an owner-occupied home, though a recent service record can reassure a buyer.
Can you provide documentation I can pass to a buyer?
We can provide written confirmation of what was checked and any work carried out.
