just re-read your posts and unless i missed something (it is friday) you mentioned the survey said to get it checked, not your contract which is why people were unclear on that.
A doubt a survey gives you any comback with a seller, even if it's in a homepack. I think they are only basic surveys and don't prevent you from conducting your own detailed survey.
if they refused to let you check it beforehand, I would assume they knew this would happen and didn't want to have to negotiate a price reduction. bad form to the point of being dishonest if you ask me. buyer beware can only be said if you've had a fair chance to fully check things out.
As you have it in your contract and the boiler is deemed unsafe, I would just tell your solictor to contact the sellers solicitors ASAP, it's what your paying them for!
