What You Need To Know About Electrics for Buy To Let - Part Three
All properties built after June 1992 will have mains wired smoke detectors put in on each floor, but it’s always worth considering putting these in anyway as many tenants have a habit of taking battery operated ones out if they go off accidentally - and then forgetting to put them back after they've cleared the smoke from their burnt toast!
If your smoke detectors are not hard wired, part of your regular maintenance cycle should involve checking smoke detector batteries regularly and asking your tenants to let you know if they need replacing.
It’s also a good idea to lightly vacuum the detector elements of smoke detectors too.
Part Four tomorrow will look at the newish Part P Regulations covering electrical work
