From what I've seen here, what regulations there are are usually ignored!

Looking at the UK regs, they are to be honest mostly just common sense.
They are also pretty easy to comply with.

You may choose to ignore them but since they are primerily concerned
with ensuring you are able to escape from a fire, and you have a room
that is quiet, and maintains a comfortable temperature all year round,
the only people you ultimately end up cheating if you avoid complying
with them is you and the family.
