Part B - Fire Safety
Part M - Access & Use
Part L - Conservation of fuel and energy
... just for starters anyway
Fire safety? As it's made of wood? Have you inspected the premises or are you just making up assumptions. Wooden buildings conform to this regulation too you know.
Energy loss? Again, as it's made of wood? Yet you know nothing of the insulation, cannot see what kind of windows/doors are used either. Without a BER cert your comments are no more than speculation.
Access is easily amended.Ziggy_Stardust wrote: »From looking at the photographs, Part M of the regs comes to mind, disability access. Without getting a decent look around i couldn't tell of others. But there's no way that cabin would get permission without correct disability access. If there's no planning permission i'd assume its not insured, as an assessor would only have it listed as a shed.
If you were living in it and a fire occurred and got injured, you'd be left with the medical bills.
It shows how unregulated the industry is if anyone can stick up a place like this without any sort of compliance
Assumptions assumptions
You cannot insure a building without planning permission? All those extensions people have built are not insured? Do we know the size of this dwelling? If not then we cannot safely say that permission is required.That's the new thing now
and zero protection for your deposit in case they feel like deducting all of it for "cleaning"
There's the PTRB.0 -

There's the PTRB.
When you put in planning , you have to prove that YOU conform to regulations. For traditional builds, the manufacturer gives you the specs and has had his products evaluated.
It would cost you a lot of money to be able to prove that such a building conforms, because laboratories and specialists don't work for free.
The planning department has to follow rules and a lot of 'alternative' buildings have no permission here in West Cork, but if someone puts a complaint in or something happens, you'll have the book thrown at you.
I know several people who've put a chalet in the garden and can't sell.
Don't get me wrong,I agree they are lovely and I would love living in a wooden house, in fact I did for a few years, but not here in Ireland.0 -

An insurance company will not inspect everything they insure, they do check it out when they have to write a cheque though. It may be insured however the insurance may be rendered void if it was discovered that the building did not conform to building regs.
I think you're missing the point of this thread. These shacks are just another example of the the shoddy properties available in the Irish rental market.0 -

Assumptions assumptions?? ha, your own post is riddled with them
Have a read of the fire TGD's and then ask if its because its made of wood. theres a million different elements to consider, its not a case of wood = fire = bad, as you seem to suggest. Consider door widths, window openings, travel distances
Same goes for energy loss, wood is very good insulater by the way
BTW Ber certs are shambolic when it comes to assessing a building, barely worth the paper they're written on. Many BER assessors have no experience in construction or educational back round in assessing buildings. Anyone can be a BER assessor.
Having said that, I think these log cabins are really nice but they were never intended for permanent occupation, and sticking one in your back garden and asking for €1200 odd euro a month is laughable.0 -
