Survey says...no central heating

[JackieCollinshasnoauthority]

But there is a boiler and radiators so there has to be central heating, right? What else can it be?

Sorry if this is a stupid question.

Ours invented a door on the landing that wasn’t there. Maybe they just forgot/ got mixed up. Just ask them

Doesn’t inspire confidence for the rest of the report though!

Definitely check that with them. Ours said gas central heating. There is no gas line to my village and all the houses are on oil! They don't always check things as thoroughly as you'd expect.

Doesn’t inspire confidence for the rest of the report though!

I know. This is worrying me as the report hasn't picked up any issues at all. It's a 1930s house so I was expecting a few minor things as they tend to be overcautious if anything.

What do the EA details say? Normally they'll say gas CH (not tested) or similar

Could the surveyor have muddled up your house with someone else’s? That happened to us. We had a report stating there was subsidence in the extension. The house didn’t have an extension!

It also stated that the house was ex-council (it wasn’t) and that there was no garage (there was).

They've sent you the wrong report?

I’d go wrong report or ask them to send another surveyor.

.ine on the last house I sold went on and in about the front bay issues. No - it was the back bay.
It is worrying when they don't find anything on a property over 120 years old though! I'm getting alot of 'well you'd expect that in a house this age'. However when I sell the surveyors seems to think it should be as good as a new build!

I am not confident surveys are what they were. Our Ful structural survey on a 400 yr old house missed a knackered boiler, rotting window frames and a blocked loo drain. He was more interested in running down the renovations

OP When I bought this house I asked the vendor about the boiler. She told me it was recently fitted and was a combi boiler.

On the day we moved in I could not get any hot water. I called the vendor and she told me she had been in that morning and the hot water was fine.

I found out the boiler was nine years old and you could not have hot water unless the heating was turned on.

I will never get fooled again. When I buy my next property I will go through it with a fine toothcomb

Our survey on the house we were selling (Scotland, seller pays for home report with single survey) had some total bloopers in it. Including listing us as a mid terraced - we had a sub station on one side, and a whole lot of air on the other...

Mind you the epc recommended cavity wall insulation (on a solid stone house) and solar panels (listed, conservation area, world heritage site - no chance)
