PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

Thanks for getting back to me again. Already did that! We got 4 quotes and yep, BG were the most expensive, though not by that much as we managed to catch their half-price boiler offer in its last few days. They quoted £2,300 but I had a very nice chat with one of their sales team, queried a few extra items they had quoted for and managed to get £300 knocked off the price. This is just under an hour of chatting on the phone. Best hourly rate I have ever earned by miles, Npower included.
Many plumbers will tell you that they are much better than combi ones and that if it was up to them, they would never remove them until they pack up for good. MIL has had hers for over 25 years and never has any problem. We've had a new combi put in 5 years ago and we have problems with it all the time. We told her not to even think of replacing hers unless it's given its last breath! Her place is always nice and warm.
