Hello,
I have a rental property and had a new combi boiler fitted 2 years ago.
No problems at all with the boiler, my only niggle is that the external condensate pipe is 32mm and fully covered with black insulation.
This pipe runs almost 3 metres across the outside wall of the kitchen and then a further 2 metres round a corner to the drain.
As the property was tenanted at the time I ( and the tenant ) had just accepted this.
This is really unsightly and now that the tenants have left and I am looking to re-let the property, I would like to have this changed, as I feel this is putting people off when they come to view the property as this hits you in the eye as soon as you approach the front door.
Could the 32mm ( black insulated ) pipe be replaced by a 40mm ( or larger ) none insulated white PVC pipe which would look more cosmetically acceptable?
thanks
