agreed… but that’s not going to be the reason why it’s not recommended if building regs are required. It’s because it will fail building regs.
This advice actually now applies to those in the student sector
If you are advertising through universities you have to be aware of these rules and comply with them
I’ve just completed a refurb and had to rip out ceilings with polystyrene tiles that were boarded over 20 years ago
Fire regs are more severe now than ever before
but totally not applicable to the discussion here because building regs don’t apply to pre- existing wallpaper - only to new builds . significant alterations and extensions.
Alteration new builds which require. will have to comply to get building regs appoval - bur this is irrelevant to this thread. and the tenant asking the original question.
Of course you should do this in a refurb - and of course you may have to comply with with university regs to advertise through them.
But this is not a legal requirement that can be used by a tenant to avoid paying for pet damage to pre-existing wallpaper not subject to these regs. so is irrelevant to the question discussed n this thread .
Hey… you responded to expand the apparently irrelevant discussion. You didn’t need to. And we’ve had a discussion that may be irrelevant to the OP’s situation, but is interesting and informative nonetheless. As I said, this wallpaper will fail building regs because it’s a fire hazard without further modification. Here’s what may be irrelevant: pointing out that it’s not illegal. But then, neither was the Grenfell Tower cladding at the time.

Student properties are HMOs so yes this wouldn’t be allowed
