A neighbour has just had a new condensing boiler fitted. What looks like
the condensate drain is tapped into a rainwater downpipe, which I'm almost
certain goes to a soakaway, because ours does.

Is that allowed? The neighbour wouldn't know, but he'd be keen to get it
right.

you mean you are going to snitch on him...tee hee

No, a nice bloke and a great neighbour. But if it was a 'bad thing' I'd
let him know so he could get back to the installer before it's too late.
why not? ... most people put it into a rainwater gully and complain when it
freezes up ... mine goes to a horizontal 100m run under the suspended floor
that only serves the utility room sink ....so no freezing up problems...

Sounds like it's fine then.
