Whats the legal size limit for boxroom to be then classed as a bedroom?

They didn't just see it, they rented it (ie lived in it!) for thirteen years before buying!

That's like SUPERseeing it ...

The mind simply boggles!!

I can only assume this has come down to value, perhaps worth less as a 2 bed? Worth less than what they were told?

Who knows. You could divvy up rooms into as many rooms as you wanted, I'd still prefer a 3 bed with large rooms over a 10 bed with titchy ones!

Thank you everyone. I am not explaining this right. I will have to talk to the person that informed me of these things last week which i should have been told by them/others involved when these sort of questions were asked. No more answers are needed, thank you once again

I still don't understand 'what you should have been told'.

You lived in the house, took advantage of buying it at a discounted price?

The smaller 3rd bedroom sufficed as a nursery/bedroom?

The doors are cheap, council installed sapele doors not fire doors?

You opted to buy the property because mortgage payments were lower that the rental payments?
Are you upset that you took advantage of The Right To Buy scheme but have not maintained/upgraded the property, and are seeing council/HA properties in your area being upgraded?


I don't understand why your family's safety is compromised whilst living in your home. Can you clarify that?




Like I said: I'm confused.

OP, to be quite honest, if you mention this to someone in actual words tomorrow you are going to make an absolute fool of yourself.

You will be a laughing stock.

Havent you done enough of that one here.

I would just get on with your life..................

My bedroom as a kid, through my teenage years, was 6 foot 3, by 6 foot. Even if I'd wanted to, i wouldn't have been able to turn the bed the opposite way round. For comparisons, sake, I'm 6 foot 2. The house I've just bought has a third room approx 6 foot 7 by 7 foot 2. Any child of mine that wants to complain will be told what I had and to be grateful for the extra space :rotfl:

Bossworld, but watch out, YOU might complain when you realise in 15 years

OP, I think your daughter should consider suing you. Get her to ask your friend, who spoke to you about this. Poor thing, you forced her to stay in a small bedroom, in a wardrobe, with a folding door...

I have a feeling that legal room sizes were abolished in the 60s or 70s - when we were looking for this house we found many modern ones had a small "bedroom" which were too small for a full size bed but the older ones never had this problem

I had a bedroom in a loft space that you couldn't stand up in and was reached by a ladder and had no door and the mattress took up most of the floor. But it was my space and meant I didn't have to share with my brother. It was great.

But you were taking quite a risk sleeping up there if there had been a fire downstairs.
