A retired gentleman purchases a place to do up then live in. However at present he owns another house which he will move out off when the new one is built. CDM Coordinator required ?

Short answer ; No. The Client will be a Domestic client, therefore no need for CDMC or notification to HSE. The construction work will still need to comply with CDM Regulations.

I agree - no. A domestic client is a domestic client regardless of how many houses he owns.

On the face of it I wouldn't think so. "Domestic clients are people who have work done on their own home or the home of a family member, that does not relate to a trade or business, whether for profit or not. It is the type of client that matters, not the type of property. Local authorities, housing associations, charities, landlords and other businesses may own domestic property, but they are not domestic clients. If the work is in connection with the furtherance of a business attached to domestic premises, such as a shop, the client is not a domestic client." CDM ACoP to Reg 2
