Is he gas safe registered or whatever it is now called?

If not it is extremely illegal.

A common misconception. It is only illegal if you charge for gas work
when you are not qualified. If you are doing gas work for yourself - it
is perfectly legal.

Well, not strictly true - you have to be "competent"

as you said below


I could install it myself but am not planning to as it is ilegal as
far as I am aware.

See above. If you have the competence - then there isn't a problem. In
any case - you could install the boiler and all the plumbing - but then
get a qualified gas fitter simply to connect up the gas.
