Is it legal to sell a newbuilt without floors?

Redrow are selling new builts with no floor and ask for extra payment per room. They are supposed to be obliged by law to have some minimum standards offered such as radiators for example. Our agent says floor is not an obligatory prerequisite and many other sellers do the same. Is that true?

Do you really mean "floor" or "flooring"? A big difference.0

Flooring is a personal choice, why would you want to have the choice of only their limited range, and pay their inflated prices?0

Hold on, while op is googling difference.
But would suspect carpets, laminate, tiles etc. Which op should so themselves.The world is not ruined by the wickedness of the wicked, but by the weakness of the good. Napoleon0 -
The homes will have floors. You must mean flooring.
It's legal for them to sell you a brick in a muddy puddle. Though you obviously wouldn't get a mortgage on it.
But you can get mortgages on houses without flooring and homes without central heating. I suggest you negotiate on flooring, or just source it yourselves - which will give you access to a wider range of options at much better value for money. Though for the kitchen, it's better if some types of flooring go in before the units."Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance" - Confucius0 -
By "no floor" do you mean something like this? If so then I suspect you've misunderstood, as no housebuilder is going to treat the floor as an optional extra (though strictly speaking it wouldn't be illegal for them to do so).0

It is normal.
They put rubbish flooring in, so you are being given the opportunity to pick your own flooring. Either pay their expensive prices or choose an independent supplier.Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')
No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)0 -

Please tell us that isn't "bodger's foam" that they have seated those joists on and that there is a DPC to protect the timbers....Her courage will change the world.

We could tell you that, yes.Please tell us that isn't "bodger's foam" that they have seated those joists on and that there is a DPC to protect the timbers....
We'd be lying, of course, but we could definitely tell you that...

Flooring is optional.... there's nothing worse than paying "top price" for flooring you hate and don't want and would never choose.
Currently the local trend is to put down thick grey sh4gpile carpet everywhere, I don't want carpets of any sort..... and certainly not deep pile. I wanted deep pile in 1990.
Better to choose your own, even if you have to pay for it, than know it's included in the price and you hate it.0
