This particular op isn’t renting the house out though, I presume they are selling it.Its a legal requirement for rentals now.
Depends on the location of the (Pendant) doesn’t it when your standing in the bath with a shower then ceiling height is reduced and especially if the pendant is within arms reach. All bathrooms without suitably IP rated light should be rcd protected in my opinion if they aren’t they C2 if they do have suitable IP rated light without rcd protection then C3. Easy to resolve isn’t it don’t have a pendant/batten holder in bathroom simplePendant light? With most ceilings being around 2.4m, that's going to be a very short drop in most cases.
A batten holder might keeps things high enough, or a gallery fitting of some sort, but agree that IP44 or greater is preferable.
Always considered it strange that the 2.25m is measured from the floor, even over a bath. I've seen baths fitted with legs fully extended and the legs on wooden blocks to help with drainage problems.

Isnt it irrelevant if it’s rental or owned its the regualations which is the debate and is open for interpretation. Hence why we all give our opinionsHe isn’t selling it he going to rent it out.
I thought a batten fitting is acceptableCan’t comment on the thermal damage as I cant see it. Photo would help.
IP rated bathroom light.
A common mistake among some sparkies.
if it’s above=2.25M it does not need to have a water resistant fitting. A normal pendant is fine.
i would advise getting a bathroom IP rated light, but would not code it if it’s above that 2.25M.
get your tape measure out.
Curiously, it doesn't the 2.25m measurement is still from the floor, even if the lamp is diretly over the (raised) bath. Ridiculous, but that's what the regs say.Depends on the location of the (Pendant) doesn’t it when your standing in the bath with a shower then ceiling height is reduced and especially if the pendant is within arms reach.
