Selling your home? Don’t overlook your heating and plumbing systems — they’re often one of the first things potential buyers ask about. A well-maintained boiler, recent boiler service, and up-to-date gas safety certificates can make all the difference when it comes to building buyer confidence and speeding up the sale process.
This section is designed to help homeowners across Dunfermline, Kirkcaldy, South Queensferry and wider Fife understand how to prepare their central heating system before putting a property on the market. Whether you’re selling a family home, a rental property, or an inherited house, we’ve got clear, practical advice to make sure everything’s in order.
Not sure if your boiler is up to scratch? A pre-sale service or health check can help uncover any issues that could become sticking points in negotiations. If your system is particularly old or inefficient, it may be worth looking at a cost-effective upgrade — even a mid-range new boiler can add value and reassure buyers that no major expense is lurking.
Explore our full boiler installation packages if you’re considering an upgrade. We can advise on budget-friendly solutions that still tick the boxes for energy performance, reliability, and compliance.
Landlords and sellers of rental properties — don’t forget your legal obligations. You’ll need a valid Landlord Gas Safety Certificate before listing, and it’s best to have everything documented well in advance to avoid delays or issues with solicitors and buyers.
A warm, efficient home makes a stronger impression. Use this section as your go-to guide to avoid last-minute surprises and present your property in the best possible light.
