We bought our house as a 4 bed house but one of the bedrooms is a conversion over the garage with a single Velux window. We had always believed that the house was priced as a 3.5 bedroom house because of this.
Below the Velux window is a strange fitted step. We believed that this was to meet building regs at the time as it looks like you could use it as a means of escape in a fire. We understand these regs are no longer in place and would like to remove the step.
Can anyone foresee any problems with this? Either in meeting current regs or with pricing the room as a bedroom? We're not having any building work on the room, but are having a couple of new Veluxes putting in which doesn't require BC.
Thanks.
