So all your Furniture and Furnishings comply with the Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations 1988
Plus see: Fire safety law and guidance documents for business
So wear have I got it wrong on what I said? |
You are not really doing yourself any favours here. Most of your post makes little sense and you still have very little understanding of residential lettings regulations.
Residential lettings are carried out by commercial organisations, as well as private individuals. Bed and breakfasts fall under very different regulations to lettings. HMOs
are residential lettings. Your link to "Fire safety law and guidance documents for business" is for non-domestic buildings (commercial properties, offices and factories etc.) and the furniture and furnishings regulations relate to furniture manufactured after nineteen eighty-eight; trust me there not many residential letting properties with furniture that old. As I have said, ALL my properties exceed current regulations as far as fire safety is concerned, if these regulations change, so will my properties. I do not scrimp or penny pinch when it comes to the safety of my tenants, as I have demonstrated here. You have no idea whatsoever what to takes to install an automatic fire suppression system and you really, really should have found out more about them and the regulations that cover them, before you embarked on this crusade.
One of the properties I own is a small block of six flats, which also includes a sprinkler system. I was quite pleased when I bought it and asked a number of specialist firms about how much it would cost to upgrade it to something more modern and more aesthetically pleasing. The figures I suggested were based on that estimated cost. I notice although you said my estimated quotation was, "a load of Rubbish," but failed to come up with a alternative cost. If you can get it from someone for considerably cheaper, please let me know, I would very interested in talking to them.
