Purchasing a new home is an exciting milestone, but it also comes with its challenges—and heating should be one of your top priorities. A heating system in poor condition can be an unexpected and costly burden after moving in. Our Homebuyers Pre-Purchase Heating Report provides a thorough, independent evaluation of the property's heating system, giving you the peace of mind you need before committing to the purchase.

Many house sales include a standard Gas Safety Check, but it’s important to know that this doesn’t cover all aspects of the heating system. While the safety of the boiler and gas appliances is essential, our report goes deeper. We check the condition of the radiators, underfloor heating (UFH), controls, and pipework, areas often overlooked in typical surveys. This comprehensive assessment ensures that no major heating-related issues are left unnoticed.

In addition, we analyze whether the radiators are correctly sized for the size of the house, which is critical for the system to run efficiently. If the radiators are too small, you could face ongoing issues with heating performance, leading to higher energy bills and discomfort. Our report also flags up any potential problems that could arise in the future, helping you understand the long-term condition of the system. With this valuable information, you could use it as leverage to negotiate a discounted purchase price or ask the seller to make necessary repairs before finalizing the sale.

Our Heating System Report not only provides you with a clear picture of the system’s current state but also gives you insight into the likely longevity of the components, helping you avoid future repair surprises. With our thorough inspection and expert advice, you’ll be able to make a more informed decision, avoiding the stress and unexpected costs that often come with inheriting a faulty heating system.
