Potential property purchase with loft conversion-odd windows!

[sugarcoma101]

Hi all,

I'm going to see a property this week that looks great (online) and I'm doing my homework before I go to see it.

The property comes with a loft conversion that is marketed as a bedroom. I'm currently getting as much info as possible out of the EA on building regs sign off etc but that's all pending.

However, on the photos, I can clearly see that the two velux windows are different. They are a space apart on the same patch of roof, but one is longer and thinner, and the other is shorter and more squat.

Cosmetically, it looks quite odd, but I could live with it...

My question is, is anyone aware of a legitimate building reason to install different size windows? If there is a good reason for it, then fine, but if the builder just did it for no good reason, I would question what else they did quite strangely...

All help appreciated!

Ah...I see The Mods are awake for once and have now moved this thread...

There's no Regs reason but there could be a hundred reasons.

Maybe one was an escape window (which used to be an option in BR to avoid having to use fire doors in the escape corridor).
