    Thanks everyone for your replies, really helpful.

    We have a BC cert for the installation of the new boiler but it doesn't mention the removal of the fire.  It's definitely been capped off.  Do I need to retrospectively ask for this?
    No, you just need to get the buyer's solicitor to understand you don't need one for the removal of the fire.

    Perfect, thank you @Section62 and everyone else who responded, you've put my mind at ease.  Thanks :)<3

    Tell the buyer that no consent is needed for this and if they want, they may get a gas engineer to certify the capping.
