Who is reponsible for repairing a boiler under a government grant scheme?

Hi all, can anyone advise on this issue? The tenants a few years ago had a new boiler fitted on a government grant scheme, the boiler keeps breaking down and after £££££ of repairs with new parts it still seems to be having issues.

More than three gas fitters have advised they cannot find the fault and a new boiler would be the better option rather than chucking good money into it.

My question is who does the boiler belong too and who is responsible for replacing this?

In a court case I read some time ago, tenants had a new boiler installed with the help of a government grant. When they moved out of the property, they decided to take the new boiler with them.

The judge ruled that the tenants were within their rights to remove the new boiler, but they were also required to reinstall the old boiler, which was still functional, back into its original place.

If this is the case then should it be the tenant that has to repair or replace the boiler (as the judge says it is their boiler as it was their grant)?

Any advice would be appreciated,

Sheralyne
