I am considering having my boiler replaced. It is quite old and has been
causing a few problems.

The current boiler is an open flued boiler with the flue going up into
the attic space of our flat and out through the roof. There is NO
possibility of the boiler being re-sited against an external wall.

Can anyone recommend a boiler type and model maybe and guesstimate how
much it would cost to replace. We will be in the flat for at least
another 3 years so it would have to be decent quality but not hugely
expensive.

TIA

Gas or oil?

Apologies for the now obvious oversight! It is a gas boiler.

I have just read the below thread - replacing and relocating boiler -
the poster mentions moving the boiler into the attic. Would this be an
advisable option? It would make more space for me, but it would also
mean that it was more inaccessible... Hmm.

It is an excellent place for a boiler. However, the loft has to have certain
facilities relating to boarding, lighting and access for it to be allowed.
It is also best that the loft is insulated below the rafters (including
ventilation above) and draughtproofed. Otherwise, you may have trouble with
freezing in winter.

Would anyone care to guesstimate a cost for this work?
