    Too late now if they're not!

    As a student place that's pretty good. Student renting in Bournemouth is a different game.

    is there any legal minimum size that a bedroom can be? Look at the width of the 2nd bedroom on this one ! :eek:

    Housing Act 1985 gives these minimum sizes for bedrooms:-
    Floor area of room Number of persons
    110 sq. ft. or more 2
    90 sq. ft. or more but less than 110 sq.ft. 1½
    70 sq. ft. or more but less than 90 sq. ft. 1
    50 sq. ft. or more but less than 70 sq. ft. ½

    but smaller is OK for children under 10 or visiting relatives.

    EDIT: sorry about the lack of formatting, (it looked OK on my screen before posting) but you get the picture.

    very interesting ! So, if between 50 & 70 sq.ft. is ok for 1/2 a person on a regular basis, what proportion of a resident would a 45 sqft room allow? Alternatively, and I think this is the key question: how often would the mother in law be able to visit given the sub 50sq.ft. floor space? ;)

    I just love this one. How many photos of pink chairs do you think you need to feed your 'celebrity lifestyle'. Honestly?

    Shame about the furniture because it's a lovely room otherwise!

    Quote- Available on a fully furnished basis in May. Please contact H*** today for priority bookings and for further details. Seeing is believing

    Seeing is believing indeed! I think they would get more if they rented it unfurnished!

    Is that a corrugated plastic roof in the kitchen? What is it? Surely whatever it is isn't legal?

    No outside shots? Perhaps the outside is painted pink too. I live 10 minutes walk away from there... maybe I'll go have a nosy:p
