  • I am talking about building regulatory approval and politely i will disagree we cant claim every room in a house as a bedroom. There is a reason building regulations are made to meet certain safety requirement.
    But it isn't a bed in a shed is it.


    You can put a bed in the living room, the lounge, just about any room that's big enough accept a bed (or beds), or even a smaller bunk-bed or cabin-bed. Which regulatory approvals are you referring to?

    Whether or not a room is suitable for use as a bedroom isn't going to be determined by the presence or absence of a bit of paper from 30 years ago. If a conversion is that old, you deal with it on its merits and figure out for yourself whether you're happy with insulation, ceiling height, fire safety etc.
  • The women in the house told us she is the owner when we went for viewing and same women was in estate agent office today and told us she just joined the estate agency and have moved to hotel for time being. We never visited estate agent office before so we had never met with the person who was dealing with us on phone.


    Ok.

    So absolutely no reason to believe the person you spoke to on the phone was the owner of the house you bought.

    You have literally nothing to be upset about. Just enjoy your new home.
