Visitor visa for parents - Overcrowding?

[oj.bulmer]

Having researched through posts, I am still unclear about this.

I am on Tier 2, live with my wife in our one bedroom flat with separate living room. My parents want to visit us for a month. But there are restrictions regarding overcrowding given here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati ... ercrowding
such that for 2 additional rooms only 3 people can live.

But the legislation allows exception for temporary family visitor as given in #329 here..
http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1985/68/part/X

So the question is, if I mention in my sponsorship letter and my parents mention in their cover letter that they will stay with me, will there be a problem?

For all those who may be interested my parents were granted visitor visa. So apparently for visitor visas, the the requirement for overcrowding is waived.

The clause 329 in Housing Act 1985 also states that if a family member is living temporarily, he does not cause overcrowding. So probably those applying for a longer term visa like Tier visas, dependent visas or settlement visas would need a house with adequate accommodation, but not visitors.
