Hello,
I have a 2 double bedroom flat which I have put on rent. The boiler is start to playing up and I am considering changing the boiler before next tenant moves in.

One gas engineer recommended BAXI 624 saying this is what he fits in most of rented flats
Another recommended Vaillant saying that if you go for Good boiler they will last long and require less maintenance. Worth going for extra money.
What do you guys advise?
Thanks for reading

Baxi.Probably lots more on a Vaillant for tenants to twiddle with and fek it up.Fitted quite a few in Newcastle student places and all of them have been student proof...I always find Vaillant and Bosch too complicated ...The ppl who like all the bells whistles wi fi controls,delta t,,,worry about flow rates/differentials/heat losses,etc etc love them.Students just become baffled by them and call you out 10pm to mend them because the battery symbol is showing or the wifi has died.

Thanks very good point. I will stick with baxi then
Do yiu think baxi 624 is good enough.
Considering 2 double bedroom 6 double radiator 1 bathroom and pipe goes all over the flat.
It is a ground floor flat of 60s with concrete floot and laminated flooring.
Or shall i go bit higher
 
Which Baxi 624 you get a combi and a system boiler, I am guessing a Combi, the 24 in the name means 24KW, you will never have any where near 24KW for heating, so forget that part but 24KW is not great for HW so if a combi what are the HW requirements showers en suites etc, if a system then way more than enough

I am going for combi.
There is one toilet cum bathroom with shower over bath
 
Just remember, as it is a rented flat, to throttle the bath tap down to a flow rate that is compatible with the performance of the boiler. Tenants will never understand the need to do it manually.

Personally for the extra £90 I would go for the 630 if you really want a Baxi, comes with a 7 year warranty and is tax deductable anyway, give the tenants a decent shower and bath flow rate , 24 KW combis are old school now
