Bought a bi level house. Has a brick wall and exhaust with chimney. I assumed it’s for a former fireplace. I had a fireplace company over and they say I need a new liner etc. wondering thoughts. Below are pictures.

That pipe should be replaced. Can't see the liner in the pics.
If you do put in a new liner, make sure it's insulated.
