Been a lurker on this forum for many months / years, but never got round to posting.

I Have a question, which im hoping someone here can answer.

We moved into our current property back in december 2005 and it came with a few furnishings, two beds and 3 piece suite.

2 pieces of the suite are in the garage and one in the dining room, and they are now getting in my way. My question is, If the sofas have no current UK Fire Regulation tags on them can I ask for them to be removed as they cannot proove they meet current regulations.

If the age of other appliances in the house (old but kept very clean and tidy) is anything to go by the sofas are probably 10 to 20 years old.

Thanks in advance.

I think the following applies to rental property (found on the internet somewhere).



So I guess if they aren't clearly labelled they don't comply and you could ask them to be removed as they are a fire hazard.

Of course taking this approach is not likely to make your relationship better!

People don't like these loose tags/labels hanging on, even when they are puched down behind a cushion, so not many items that comply will probably still have the tags on. You ca probbaly tell if its the sort of cheap 'foamy' dangerous furniture. If it is old but tidy, it may well comply. Anyway, if you don't want the furniture, give the landlord a chance to take it away.

I also had this problem of wanting to let my flat furnished until everything left there needed certificates, so i got it into storage and dressed the flat using a company that specialises in buy to let furnishingClick here for Website

Is someone selling something here?
