    Differences in regs for rental property?

    Further to discussion on another thread about whether BS7671 regs are different for rented properties. I say no. Building regs and fire regs are different…. But not wiring regs. There are differences in the wiring regs between domestic properties and non- domestic though.

    We have been asked to install electrics in a Shepherds Hut. Just looking for consensus of opinion as to which part of the regs applies.

    1970’s semi. Bathroom regs at the time.

    I’m not doing an EICR or anything… just curious. Was doing some work in my parents house, and I was remembering how it was back when I was a kid. It was built in 1974… same age as me…. I don’t know what regs were in force at the time. The original layout of the bathroom, only big enough for a...
