UK Home Survey question?

Thanks for your reply. The kitchen layout doesn’t lend itself to putting back as original. The original position was once a coal store. Some people popped a door on the opening which was inline with the front of the house. This created a small utility room behind the door with an internal door...

UK Home Survey question?

UK Home Survey question?

Thanks, I guess that’s what I was after really. I appreciate the use of illegal/not illegal probably wasn’t the best use of words. Im Just after clarification as to whether at the point the kitchen was first changed many years ago and subsequent changes after, should someone have said ‘this...

UK Home Survey question?

Yes, you are correct. Everything is mounted on the original board and that board is what is fixed to the carcass. The units are all fixed to the wall. The estate agent spoke with the surveyor after the survey and he wasn’t happy about it. Something along the lines of if the new owners want to...

UK Home Survey question?

So, is that just your opinion or was that regulations/rules at the time that stated it shouldn’t never have been fitted that way? Apologies if that seems a blunt point but we can all have an opinion and that’s fine, it’s good to hear people’s thoughts but I’m trying to figure out the ruling on...

UK Home Survey question?

The picture is deceptive. It is actually a 550mm wide cupboard. It’s not a great pic as I don’t live near the house to take a fresh one and had to screen grab a picture from another id taken of something else. The access is fine and the meter can easily be read. Even my late father and his aging...

UK Home Survey question?

UK Home Survey question?

Hi, We have just had a house survey done on my late parents home. The surveyor has picked up the fact that main electricity feed to the house comes in to the kitchen and the meters are attached inside the kitchen cupboard. This kitchen was fitted professionally and electrics completed by an...
