    Does anybody know if it is OK to have wooden floors in a new ground floor apartment?

    There is some government act that says "soft coverings" are necessary but does this apply to ground floors apartments.

    Thanks

    You probably can legally (that is under the Building Regulations) - but what does your lease / title deed say?

    Many apartment buildings have restictive rules for things like this. Anything from, say, conveting a large room into 2 small rooms to banning pets.

    If you do get to put down a timber floor you must use a 'resilient layer' - the most common ones are specialist cardboard and expanded polystyrene-type foams (in sheet rather than board form).
    Too many freaks, not enough circuses.
