ferroli domicondens 24kw £1.2

Can anyone give advice? Desperately need a new boiler. Am planning on selling the house hopefully next year, so only need something cheap and cheerful that will pass any home report rating. I can't afford anything amazing.

Have been quoted £1,200 to install a new ferroli domicondens (b rated boiler).

Will be adding condensing pipe for kitchen waste, a flu extension and a fuse spur.

Should I go wtih this? Other quotes (Scottish gas are around the £2,800 mark).

Can someone help a gal in need?

    I don't think you will better this quote. Boiler is rubbish, but will suit your purpose.

    Make sure installer is gas safe and he notifies it to gas safe so you get your certificate from them for when you sell.

    Thanks gas4you. They are registered (we rang SNIPEF and the other register) and have them confirmed. They have been in the (same) business 20 years and recommended by a very good friend of mine so I feel ok.

    Was just concerned that the boiler (a few people have said it's not the greatest) would 'score' ok on our home report next year?

    I will ensure the installer notifies it to gas safe and will receive the certificate - thanks for advising me on ths.

    Have you asked for a quote on a slightly better boiler? Would it be worth giving them a maximum budget and asking if they can supply and fit anything better?
