Regs seem a bit confusing on this, but landlord is converting a house to HMO.

10 en suites, plus ground floor kitchen, all on just 2 floors (just ground and first floor).

I know fire alarms if there are 3 floors. But with this many rooms, even though it's only 2 floors, is he breaking any regs if he installs smoke alarms instead of a fire alarm system?

Thanks in advance.
 
best bet is to get local council and fire officer involved. they would stipulate what's required.also depends on location. personally i's fit a L2 fire alarm system (what price life). i could fit that in a day, no mess no fuss.
 
The minimum for a two storey HMO would be a Grade D, LD3 system. This is minimum and is dependent on floor coverage etc...
As above leave it to other parties and just install from the spec provided.
