Hi There,
I'm in the process of buying a new build from Barratt Homes in North East England. Upon looking round the show home the fuse box was located half way up the wall inside the store cupboard under the stairs. However after looking around the plot we are interested in buying, the fuse box was in the downstairs toilet right above the toilet. I immediately asked about this, and was told that this was due to regulations and that the box needs to be accessible. OK i understand that, but why in the toilet? - Well according to them the regs have changed since the show home got built and this is the place where it goes. I've looked in to regs and can't see much stating about this, and guessing it's just more out of laziness on their part.
Would be great to get your thoughts.
