Building Regulations
Building regulations in England are a set of rules and standards that ensure the safety, health, and welfare of people in and around buildings. These regulations cover everything from the structural integrity of a building to the ventilation and fire safety measures in place. They are mandatory and must be adhered to by anyone carrying out building work.
Importance of Building Regulations
​
As a buyer you need to know what building regulations are attached to the prospective house as it can affect their safety and the value of the property. For example, if someone purchases a property that has had work done without the proper building regulations being followed, they could be at risk of injury or property damage.
​
Additionally, if a property has not been built to the proper standards, it may be difficult to sell or may sell for less than it would have otherwise. This is because potential buyers will be wary of the safety and quality of the property and may be less likely to make an offer. This could have a significant impact on the dwelling and your finances as you take on the responsibilities legally to ensure a safe and habitable home.
