Hi,
I'm considering letting a house out that has a woodstove used for heating (alongside another conventional heating system).
Apparently the chimney isn't lined...though it has been used fine for years in it's current setup.
but i'm not clear whether the requirement for a lined chimney is essential for any let property
OR if it is only a building regs requirement for a newly built house, and therefore is ok for a building that is older and already has one installed.
Is compliance with building regs all that is required (and therefore may not be needed in this case), or is it always essential for a let property?
Thanks very much if you know the rules re: woodstove for a let property?
with kind regards
