230v smokes interlinked through multiple shops

This been a commercial and domestic set-up combined with communal areas too (stairwells) i cant comment without a lot more info and you need to consult the relevant BS fire regulations for combined commercial and domestic use buildings, the landlord would also need to relay all the structural fire precautions within the building as this too reflect on the system required.

If each building is totally seperated, with the own entrance, then each building must be treated seperatly....A local Authority report/assessment will determan if each system must be interlinked. If they are commercial shops, then a full part 1 system will be required. To obtain a licence as a landord...the assessment must have been conducted..???

The shops are food businesses so I presume greater fire risk than most, I'm not sure about the past although he has said it has been passed and certificated for a few years previous, I would also think there has been an initial assessment when he first acquired the properties but not sure so will ask him about it tomorrow.
and yes each part is separate apart from entrance to staircase for two flats.

Suggest getting in local authority to clarify....as i can only seeing on way for this, a control panel in each building covering shop and flats, reason being this is not communial domestic premises, the flats are over commercial buildings giving high risk.
Each panel may also be asked to Bi-linked between buildings. This is what i would put forward, but this my own opinion
