Hi,
I have installed a spur socket in my bathroom. The cable is inside the wall. It is fairly installed out of reach of chirldren at 1.80 m and outside zone 2, however it is still not complying with BS7671 as it is not 3m from the outer of zone 1. I think it is safe enough for my own use though and because I owe the house, I am happy to have it installed like this.
When it will be time to sell the house, could I just let the buyer know that this spur socket has been added to the circuit by myself and although it is very practical on a daily basis, it is also not complying with the regulations and that if they want it left in use, they would need to sign an agreement and would take all responsabilities in case of an accident OR shall just uninstall the socket, disconnect the cables and replaster like it was before?
Thanks
