Do I need an Indemnity Insurance for a non registered Boiler?

Hi, I am in the process of selling my flat and the solicitor has asked me to obtain an indemnity insurance because my boiler, which was installed in 2008 was never registered and i haven't got a certificate. Also to cover some electrical sockets that were installed in the kitchen at the time - i don't have the relevent certificates either. Do i need this insurance and how much roughly should it cost?
Thanks
Thanks

Normally your solicitor would arrange it and it will depnd ont he vlaue of hte proeprty being sold but the company I use would charge around £50 for a proeprty selling for £250K.RICHARD WEBSTER
As a retired conveyancing solicitor I believe the information given in the post to be useful assuming any properties concerned are in England/Wales but I accept no liability for it.0 -
We've had to get the same thing for our recently installed boiler.
It was more hard work to get the gas fitter around so we got a policy from our solicitors. It was £44 plus their outrageous 'set up fee' of £55 plus vat.0 -
If the boiler is registered with Gas Save or Corgi (if 3 years old or more) you can buy a copy of the original certificate.
Corgi is £35 or so but Gas Save is reckoned to be much more reasonable.
Our vendor refused to pay for this (tight ****), we got the boiler serviced before exchanging contracts (mega cheap from a Gas Safe engineer I know) and when we moved in there was a copy of the original certificate with the instructions that was left!
