There are many brands to stay away from, there are probably more rubbish than good ones out there. Don't have anything Italian or British. If you're looking at a combi boiler you'll be lucky to get anything decent supplied and fitted for under £1500 unless it's virtually a straight swap, a heat only of course is often easier and therefore cheaper (and cheaper to buy as well).
As ADL said, get some reputable local companies around to quote and see what prices they come up with, installation costs vary wildly job to job.

I could supply and fit most non combi boilers for about £1500 including Viessmann, Intergas and Vaillant!
Combis a bit more depending on make and assuming this is a replacement.
Get Kevindagas to quote you! I will ask him to post here. Or you can do a search.

he's a man of his word, so here i am
yes i could most likely help you there are a few decent boilers that would fit the bill. assuming the system is ok apart from the boiler then i would be able to get inside the £1,500 budget. give me a call in the morning and we can discuss your needs

[I'm confused. Why is Kevin quoting from Southampton, and not Tony, when the OP is in London, Tony's patch?
Not only does Kevin cover all southern England, but he even comes to London to do repair jobs.
He does have to rely on us locals for out of hours spare parts though!
I expect the OP has a Pied à Terre close to his boat mooring at Portsmouth!

I wish! It's a let property - same one I posted about regarding dodgy engineer repairs. Turned out that the insurers won't get involved now because we had someone else try to fix it before instructing them so I've decided to ditch it alltogether and fit a new one. I've had a quote for £1400 for a Vaillant Eco Tech Pro 24 (fitted). I'm told it's a very reliable boiler...?
ask for his gas safe card
If he doesn't have one is he legally prohibited from carrying out boiler repairs? I doubt the letting agent will have instructed him if he wasn't official. I would ask but to be honest I'd rather just move on from the experience; I don't have time to be taking poople to court and it's not likely I'd get much towards a new boiler from him anyway.
ask him anyway
and if he carry out the work keep a recored of it
and see check with kev as well

the pro is OK i've fitted a couple, i prefer the 831 but as money is an issue the pro24 will give a resonable performance (although the hot water might be a little cooler)
as said make sure you see the GSR card BEFORE allowing work to start. any bonafide engineer will be pleased to show his card.
good luck
