I would try and negotiate with the seller, but ultimately if you need it as a condition of your mortgage offer, you will have to pay for it, or find another mortgage supplier.

no mortgage involved.
there are 2 boilers one for heating one for hot water...its the heating one that's about 20 years old.

sounds like the survey is just highlighting the issue then probably due to age condition... if not reliant on finance the risk is yours!

ok. thanks for your advice

good luck with the purchase... if its a buy to let, I believe you need to have certificates in place for boilers, gas, electrics etc these days (good landlords do anyway)
