This refers to flats not houses.  In this context 'pisos' are flats, not floors so unless any of you own old blocks of flats you can stop panicking  :)

Sorry Pondgirl spoke to an architect today and the legislation applies to any multi storey building over 40 years old including town houses as they are usually multi story and can be up to 4 storeys tall and attached to other buildings either side there have already been court orders with owners refusing entry into buildings inspectors!!

Its Mad Here!!
