My daughter had a look at a house that she is interested in buying today.
It has what looks like an old (maybe 25-30 years) gas fire mounted on the wall and the boiler is behind it, in the chimney.
What is the modern consensus of opinion regarding this set up? i.e. is it problematic to have it up the chimney, what, if any are the pitfalls and what are the benefits?
