Im going to view a house soon, the condition of the heating system is

Everything the other's have replied then is good stuff.
Also look at the HW cylinder (if there is one) is it bare metal possibly

bluish or yellowish foam (better).

Does it have an immersion heater, useful when the boiler breaks
down.
