Hi all
Got a question regarding HMO compliance. Visited property today for landlord looking to apply for an HMO license for one of their properties. She hasn't received any detailed stipulations from council on requirements for emergency escape lighting although this will be required as property split over 3 floors. She has had a previous electrician quote for installation of key switch with emergency lighting. I have checked articles online and cannot see anywhere that this is a requirement. In my mind any 3 hour non maintained lights that we supply from an existing lighting feeds should be fine? Surely to test these just a matter of killing power to circuit/circuits. This would dramatically cut down on any additional new wiring required. Any point in correct direction be appreciated
Cheers
