Does anyone know if there are any regulations that state if residential flats require window restrictors fitting? Context: Selling my flat, buyer had a homebuyer report. Surveyor said
"All residential units need to have window restrictors on upper floor
windows, low-level windows and if a risk assessment deems necessary
all ground floor windows. HSE guidance states that the opening should
be restricted to 100 mm or less. Without the restrictors there is a risk of
falling. We highly recommend that a qualified window fitter assess the
windows and provide advice on any remedial actions"
Buyers solicitor has asked us to fit latches at our expense. I'm of the opinion that this is a bunch of bollocks and also there is a balcony so what is the bloody point in fitting window restrictors...
Am I correct in telling them to do one?
