Inset stove. To put flue liner in or not?

Hi, Have been researching lots on this one and I am confused as I was before I began! I am looking at replacing open fire with inset stove at some point.

Hi,

Have been researching lots on this one and I am confused as I was before I began!

I am looking at replacing open fire with inset stove at some point. However, I cannot determine whether I should line the chimney or not. The house is 10 years old and is a dormer semi-D. The fire has been in use since day one with coal etc, chimney cleaned annually.

I appreciate that if it was an old house there would be no question as to lining the chimney but I have got mixed answers when I ask around. Some say do, some say no need.
My own thinking is that, considering the stove will be in place for many years, I would be better off just getting a flexi flue liner fitted to save on hassle down the road.

Any opinions are much appreciated.
