Reregistering an old boiler

[Madrid]

I've just bought a house and there is a relatively new Valiant boiler in the laundry. I would like to move this boiler to a rental home that I own and purchase a new boiler for the new house. My gas man tells me I cannot do this - that once registered, a boiler cannot be reregistered at a new address. Is this true. Shame, it looks a new boiler, and I shall be just throwing it away.

Probably get any rules and regulations better in the plumbing forum, but -

It may be possible if as you claim, your boiler is realatively new and so ErP compliant but if it isn't then I'm afraid you are stuffed..

A boiler can be moved, as long as you can get the parts that it requires to do the move and re-installed safely (correct flue etc), from a BC notification point of view, had that very question posed to Gas Safe not so long ago.

It'll be getting a GSR engineer that'll be happy to do it for you at a cost that isn't prohibitive. Moving a boiler can be almost as expensive as installing a new one.

You can register a boiler with Gas Safe as often as you move it to a new location.

However your RGI may have been confusing that with registering with manufacturer
And, of course, the boiler must be compliant at date of fitting in the new location
