Emergency lighting and smoke alarms in a shared house

[lauriehurman]

Well I emphasise that I am not an expert and come on here to increase my understanding but my reading of AD B is a LARGE dwelling of 2 stories is grade B, a LARGE dwelling of 3 or more is grade A.
Which is why I mentioned the definition of LARGE.

I may be wrong.

Like has been said check with local council who wilk be issuing hmo license to land lord..

However from experiance i can tell you of theres more than 3 floors or 7 bedrooms With stay put ruling u will require full conventional fire alarm system with mcp at exits rate of rise smoke detection in communal areas and heat detection on kitchen sounders on ea ea floor.
If not stay put ruling you will need detection in every room too.

If its a small hmo you will need a grade 2 ld3 system incorparating mains interlink smoke alarms on landings and heat alarm in kitchen.

Emergency lights are required on all esvape routes and exits.
