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

Where else could it go?

The soil pipe.

Sounds like it's ok judging by the lack of 'boiler installer in shock
horror probe' responses.

According to my (WB) installation instructions a dedicated soakaway is
one of the options for dealing with condensate. So presumably diluting
it in an existing soakaway is fine.
