When I sold my house there was a minimum limit of £300 for any claim after moving in.

Once adding plumbing, electrical and radiator issues, would come to £400 at least. Don't know if windows are included - problems with locking mechanisms on handles. The property was sold without interlinked smoke and heat detectors, which I think is not legal in Scotland.

The photo shows a radiator valve body without a radiator valve head. You can buy a thermostatic head for maybe £6 (for a basic one) to £20 (for a top quality one).

BUT... that spindle in the middle is supposed to go up and down. But it's got paint on it, which will probably stop it working - so you'll need to get the paint off.


Are you sure the head was present when you viewed? Presumably the paint got on it when the room was redecorated. Has the room been redecorated since you viewed?


(It's also possible that somebody took the head off because the valve was stuck and/or not working - meaning you might have to get a whole new valve.)

Thanks eddddy, got the trvs and they're the right size thank goodness. Working well. Won't be paying for smart trvs
