Thank you all for your responses. I have been reading up on the indemnity insurance, and i think that is probably the way to go. I'll discuss it with the solicitor, I'm sure it will be ok. There must be so many houses sold each year with dodgy work that it is probably commonplace

So are you saying your son installed it in a 'dodgy' manner and it isn't Gas Safe registered? If so where did the installation certificate come from?

I think you may be blowing this out of all proportion, tying yourself in knots and anticipating a problem that may never arise.

You or the buyer can have the installation tested at any time for a minimal amount. Speaking as someone who puts safety above some kind of insurance, that's what I'd do if I had a concern.

I do have the installation certificate.

That's what matters. An indemnity is required when there is no building regulations sign off.

If asked about a guarantee, say there is none. If asked specifically about the age of the boiler, be truthful and say it was purchased second hand. You don't need to volunteer this information. If it ends up going down that road, have a conversation with the buyer and explain they are getting a much newer boiler than the 26 year old one which stopped working.

Was the person who installed it actually gas safe registered and has it been registered with them? If not, the buyers would be foolish to accept an indemnity policy.
