AIUI, according to the local BCO that I had a chat with ...
self-closing doors are required on all 'habitable rooms'.
Their intention is to prevent the ingress of fire into
a habited room allowing the occupant to get out via the fire exit.
{that's another can of worms) of that room. They are not required
for EC, bathrooms (nor broom-cupboards) that are not habited
in the definition. IT could have been that the purchaser had
a price break for ten/dozen and decided to use it anyway.
If they been fitted for Fire purposes then the door-stops
(wooden bits around the frame that the door closes against)
should be 'wide' in the plane of the door.

Do the doors have intumescent strips around the periphery? If so they
are fire doors.
