TikToker Exposes 'Illegal' Attic Bedroom for £2,650 a Month in London Rental Market

A recent viral video by TikTok creator 'Housing Horrors' has brought to light a highly unusual and potentially illegal rental offering in East London. The property, advertised on Rightmove at Spruce Hills Road for £2,650 per month, features a 'bedroom' located in an attic space. Access to this sleeping area is reportedly via a ladder directly from the kitchen, a setup that the creator claims violates multiple fire and building regulations. The video showcases images from the online listing, revealing a low-ceilinged attic room with a bed, where standing upright appears impossible. The creator emphasizes the safety concerns, particularly regarding emergency egress, and questions the legality of such a dwelling. 'This breaks every single fire regulation, building regulation, and God knows what other regulation as well,' stated the creator in the video. Further raising eyebrows, the listing includes an exterior shot of what appears to be a shed-like structure, and a seemingly irrelevant photo of a child's scooter and high chair on a patio. The creator sarcastically notes the absurdity of the London rental market, predicting that despite the clear issues, someone will likely rent the property. Comments on the video echoed these concerns, with users questioning safety, practicality, and the overall state of the London housing market. One commenter stated, 'It's actually illegal. Report them to Housing Enforcement.'
