I have seen a dormer bungalow that I would like to buy. The issue is that the part of the ceiling that leads to the upstairs is quite low. Its near the bottom of the stairs and I would say the clearance is around 5"6. This doesn't seem to comply with building regulations. I think the dormer was built at the same time as the bungalow, maybe around the 80's. What I want to know is it ok to have less clearance or is it something that would need to be changed? I am not sure how easy that would be as I don't know what is behind the celling. It may be some sort of support. Are there any other option for getting more clearance?

You don't need to change it, though it might be prudent if you did.

Then don't change it.
