Without these two documents you will not be able to sell your house.
Is this correct?

I really can't see most people turning down a property they want, for the cost
of replacing a boiler when most gut the place anyway, to put their own stamp on
the house. Anyway, what would happen to all these knackered houses that get sold
through auction ? Some are in appalling state but they all have to be renovated
by someone. Apparently many purchaser are not bothering with HIPS already.

Any questions I should be asking the B Gas engineer when I call them
out again (for the last time before I ditch them)?

I like Start Noble's suggestion of asking Worcester if spares are still
available. Or you could ask these if they are available, though they probably
wont supply you. Though I did get a replacement cap for mine.

These might give you an idea of possible prices for replacments. I'm sure there
are others. I've just kept a note of these in the past.
