I'm getting mixed messages about this from people, I've known people do it on the street without, yet people are telling me I need it.
Only reason I'm asking is because I'm trying to do a complete house renovation and if I can avoid reg fees.
However, I noticed a thread on here about someone stating insurance will be void if a home doesn't comply...
So, at the back of the living room is a large window. And at the side of the kitchen a backdoor. Don't see much point in backdoors, and removing it will add a decent amount of space to make the small kitchen larger. So I'd like to block it up. However with the large window to the back of the living room, I'll be replacing with patio doors.
The only other alteration I'll be making, would be internally. So as you walk directly in to the front door, on the immediate right is a door to the living room. Walk in the front door and head straight forward, you make your way to the kitchen. In the kitchen, on the right there was once a door that led to the living room that's already been blocked up years ago. I'd like to switch these internal doors around. Block up the one by the front door, and open up the old one in the kitchen to the living room. Would this be possible without regs?
Hope that makes sense... Cheers.
