I'm just reading a survey report which includes the wording

"As this is a change of ownership, it is essential that the electrical
wiring is checked by an electrician, preferably NICEIC registered, in
order to outline any remedial works necessary to achieve compliance with
the up to date regulations."

Is there any regulation which says that on change of ownership the
wiring should be brought up to current regulations?

This seems to be what the wording implies.

As far as I know the surveyor can recommend updating, but there is no
absolute requirement.

Also. the boiler is an old floor standing one.
The wording states:

"The boiler is not a room sealed appliance and consequently is potentially
dangerous. I would not advise that the boiler is used until it has been
inspected (condition rating 3 and see section J3 Risks)."

This seems a bit extreme.
Standard butt covering or a real risk?

Floor standing does not necessarily mean its not room sealed - you would
need to check the model number.

If its not room sealed, then it would be *very* strongly advised to get
it checked sooner rather than later (or at least inspect the flame
pattern as a minimum).
