From time to time serious house fires are caused by flamable
substances being pushed through letter boxes. Homes in many other
countries do not have these apertures in their front doors, but
instead have a separate metal
box or cassette of boxes if flats.

Is the provision of a letter box in the front door a legal
requirement in the UK ?


No, you do not need a letterbox.

You are supposed to display a house name or number though.

I wish more people took notice of that. This time of year especially at
around 5pm when I'm trying to find a house to do an estimate...
