Confused... "Integrated pressurised system & borehole well"?

DrPhilG · 12-10-2011 10:48am #1

In the process of buying a house at the minute, where the water has been turned off due to being unoccupied for a while (repo). Made enquiries with the EA regarding getting the water and electric back on and got this response...

The water supply to the property is from a borehole well located within the boundaries of the site. My understanding is that the water and heating was an integrated pressurised system which was disrupted because of the theft of the heating burner. The contractor engaged by the vendors when they took possession of the property drained down the water cylinder and piping within the house however the well supply into the house was already terminated when the vendors contractor arrived.

I am a confessed idiot on such matters, so what does all that mean? I knew I had to replace the boiler etc but does this sound like a costly job? Is it hard to find out if this pressurised system is still intact or could that have been nicked too?

Apologies if this is the wrong place, Mods please move if so?

Moved from Accommodation & Property.

It would be advisable to have a plumber check out the system and estimate how much it would cost to have it put right. Deduct that fromt eh price you are offering for the property.
