Loft Fire Barrier

What if any Regs or Certificates will be needed for installing a Fire barrier in a 1900s built terrace house shared Loft space ?
Do I have to inform my local council ?

None and no.

If there was none there previously and the work does not involve any structural work, then its not a material alteration and won't need approval under building regulations.

If you have been asked by someone to fit this, eg insurers, then you may need the work and system to be certified as meeting the performance standard you required.

Party Wall Act may apply.

the property is currently under offer and the lack of barrier is an issue .We have agreed to have a barrier installed . D the previous comments on no regs or building control still apply ?
