ok, seems I was wrong to think that I could get help from some so called "experts" but unfortunately, envy, jealousy (or whatever it may be, I'm not quite sure) seem to have blinkered some of you into thinking that all Landlords are the same. Show me a Landlord who's priority it is to...

..... and deciding that all Landlords are fabulously wealthy, crooks, leave their tenants living in squalor, or their priority should be to spend £100's of £k to replace all boilers to save all tenants some money on their heating bills, based on no site visit, no photos, no knowledge of the...

Thanks for the business advice - so my priority should be to save all of my tenants 30 - 50% on their heating bills? Previous engineer has been sacked and reported to Gas Safe and HSE. Your own website... http://www.*************.co.uk/ Seems to me that you don't practice what you...

I have a tenanted property which has an old Glow Worm back boiler. The heat exchanger is completely clogged up and I don't want to spend the fortune to have the whole boiler replaced. I've tried to find somewhere that will recondition it but it seems that because its (possibly) cast iron...
