Odd positioning of light switch in new build

    I'm at the snagging stage of purchasing a new build. There's an ensuite bathroom adjoining a bedroom, with the door opening outwards (into the bedroom). The light switch for the bathroom is in the bedroom at the hinged side of the door frame.

    It seems like a completely daft positioning to me. My question is whether something like this is admissible as a genuine snag?

    That does sound a bit awkward...

    If possible, would get the door changed to open into the bathroom. Gives you more space/flexibility in how you furnish the bedroom (not needing to leave clearance for the door). We had it done when we snagged our house.

    That's nuts ok. So you open the door try to turn on the light and hey, where's the switch. O, I have to close the door to turn on the switch,

    I'd be livid if that was me.

    I'm not aware of anything that says it cant be done this way.

    Maybe there is an electrical regulation for it. IS10101?
