FTB - Scotland - agreed verbally on a house and currently the solicitors are signing the misives etc - the home report highlighted category 2 repairs for -

central heating as it is in the region of 8 yrs old:

The central heating boiler is in the region of 8 years old, however, the boiler
is not covered by an Annual Service Agreement and we would recommend it

be checked and serviced prior to use.

& electricity:

The electricity supply appears to be somewhat dated and we would caution
that electrical testing standards have become more stringent in recent years
and the system may not meet current regulation requirements and we would

recommend the system be checked and serviced prior to use.

I would be grateful if someone could suggest how best to check/service etc the above 2 things.

regards,
