[QUOTE="Rooster, post: 361906, member: 4702"] Just to clarify.. It's a new build house and just had the snagging visit prior to completing in a few days time, so putting together the snagging list. There were the usual paint scuffs, oven not fixed in, several sockets not working etc etc put on list, However I didn't see any two way switches for the hall lights, at least to go up 1st flight and then switch off downstairs hall light. Reading the above perhaps best wait til we can get in again and check again whats going on. Re hall or stairwell I've no idea what you'd describe it as. It's a 3 storey terraced house. You enter the property into a hall with doors to other rooms and a staircase to 1st floor, hall with doors to rooms and a staircase to top floor. It's all within one private residence, not a shared stair to numerous property. The developer doesn't seem particularly interested in doing anything and I suspect the most we'll get done is what he is strictly contracted to do. The contract requires him to meet current regulations so that's why I asked! Also there is an outside light above the front door operated by a PIR. There didn't seem to be a light switch for this, agent said that's normal it only switched by the PIR. Is that correct? I'd have thought you should be able to switch it off from a light switch as well. For instance to change a light bulb, seems the only way to switch it off is to switch off the lighting circuit at the consumer board. Any regs on this? [/QUOTE]
