Hi,

I've just moved into a property in the UK, only to find this non-standard plug socket.

I was wondering if someone would advise me of what type of socket this is, also if there's an adaptor to convert it to the usual UK socket type?

TIA for any advice.

I have now identified that it's an MK non standard socket, although I cannot find a converter plug that will allow standard UK plug to be used.

Is that actually within your property. It has a non standard earth pin and is normally used to prevent normal usage or unauthorised use.
 
Definitely your hallway and not a communal area as they are often put in to stop tenants using them.
