Apologies for the rush.

Friend is viewing a house (currently a rental) and trying to price up any
work.

The two pictures are the wiring (fuse box etc.) and the boiler.

Don't know if it is a system or a combi boiler but the mechanical timer
makes it look old. As far as we can tell the house was refurbished in 2006
but both the boiler and the wiring look much older.

I am assuming that the wiring is at least safe as it is a rental and there
seem to be notices of testing on the meter.

Also the gas boiler should have had an annual safety check. Tenants say
that the boiler has failed twice in the last 8 months.

As tenants are in for a while it is difficult to go and give the place a
look over myself, especially as it is in another part of the country.

Any comments and suggestions most welcome.

A quick look at system boilers (first guess)shows WB at around £800-£1100
plus fitting.

Cheers

There is no requirement to have tested electrics for a rental (but
obviously prudent) so you assumption is flawed.
All gas appliances in a rental do have to have an annual Gas Safe check
and certificate issued and so the vendor ought have that and be willing
to show you.
