"Dear buyer i am sorry to hear about your problem , i never had any issue like that with the system . i have tried to locate the original installers details but no longer have them. i did pass all the current documents on to you but given the age of the system i doubt there are any in that bundle. What did your surveor say when he advised you about this prior to purchase? i do trust your problem is not too hard for you to fix. "

My suggestion but in reality all as above.

Pretty much the reply I would give too.

Polite but firm, and make sure they aren't left with the illusion that it's somehow your problem.

"Sorry to hear of the problem with [b]your boiler[/b]
I have had a look for any relevant paperwork but couldn't find anything helpful to you I'm afraid.

Hope you manage to get things sorted out"

The people we sold our house too have had to get all sorts of shit done including a new roof. I sort of feel bad but they had a survey and we didn't hide anything from them.

Worst thing is they are a lovely couple and were friends of ours (though not exactly close).
