That looks a rough old job....diy or illegal worker.
Have you any paperwork for the boiler?
The isolating valve is partially closed...it should be fully open..who touched it? - You need to see whether the drip is from the valve spindle or the connection just above.
Make/model of boiler would be useful...Vokera/Sabre/Procombi at a guess.
That safety valve pipework doesn't appear to be joined properly either.
Get someone out, you do not want to be the last person who touched this boiler, if you are selling up.

Seriously now. Do not touch it.Get someone out, you do not want to be the last person who touched this boiler, if you are selling up.
We just bought the house.
How do I go about opening the isolating valve?
PTFE on all of them, olive or threadThat looks a rough old job....diy
PTFE tape under the compression nut on left. My money says DIY.
Bet the installer does not know what a pipe lender looks like.
