Just wondering, been looking at buying a house and the home report states that there is still an original galvanised steel water storage tank in loft, a baxi boiler on wall in kitchen and a lagged water tank in cupboard in bedroom. Is this unsafe/illegal now of just old fashioned? House is around 43 years old, ex-council.
Am I right in thinking that this old fashioned system would be the type where you had to switch on the hot water an hour or so before you needed to use it. I have a mucky toddler who often needs to be bathed at short notice!!
Is it correct that the kitchen cold water comes from the mains and all other water from the tank?
Would installing a combi boiler mean there would no longer be a need for the tank in loft and lagged tank in bedroom?
Thanks for any help, need to know whether its worth viewing this house.
