Surveyor suggested about Completion certificate

Hi,
FTB’s here. The house that we are going to buy has a kitchen extended done , the surveyor report came and suggested about the completion cert. Who should I ask about this, the solicitor or their EA? Thanks.

Solicitor should ask as part of their queries

How about the Gas cert ? as the seller only provided the electricity. Thanks

Depends what you mean by "gas cert". Rented properties require an annual gas check, there's no requirement for sellers to carry out regular checks or provide anything on a sale. Normally up to you to organise someone to go in and check if you want reassurance about the condition of gas appliances. It's nothing to do with mortgages anyway.

If applicable. If the boiler has not been serviced in accordance with the manufacturers warranty. Then any cover afforded will be voided. 
Was a new bolier installed?

I dont know when they installed the boiler. i will ask the EA about this.

The boiler was installed in 2016

The surveyor may have meant that you should see the gas installation certificate to show it was done by a registered gas engineer and not a DIY job.   The solicitor should obtain this info as part of their process.  
The annual servicing of the boiler isnt a legal requirement so if they dont have this done then you make a choice on it being a problem to you or not
