Gulity, your honour. I used to rent out a flat to a Northern Irish guy who came back from a week in his homeland and proceeded to hand me the rent in Ulster Bank notes and I looked at them like, "What the f**k is this shit?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up there with the Bank of Gowrie, although a £500 note would actually be quite handy when paying rent in cash I'd imagine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a sealed in, long life battery. When the battery dies you replace the unit. We’re already fully compliant, but had to relocate the one fitted in our hall as it was set off every time someone opened the bathroom door after a shower. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 (edited) Our house sale has fallen through. Even though it's brutal news, we are actually kind of relieved as it's been going that way for a while, it's almost good to get it over with.

2lgm Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I can't say for sure, but I think this is for new builds. If it is a cover all, who is going to police it?Have heard today it’s getting pushed back to 2022 and it applies to all - even individual private owners. Not sure how it’ll be policed but I expect insurance companies might take note. Excuse not to pay out? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are sealed battery units (no wiring) a bolt on is a wireless pro which works with an app, this needs to be connected to your hub via an ethernet cable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
die hard doonhamer Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 It's a shite bit of legislation, but at the same time it's something I need to do. I only have 1 alarm in my house, in the hallway (I live in a bungalow, so it's at pretty much the centre of the house). Will need to get one in the living room and a heat one in the kitchen, as well as replace the hallway one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 The costs could be way higher for many folk if they go to get an extra detector or two wired in, only to be told their fuseboard (goodbye to £450ish) or even worse, their wiring (££££££££££) is a shambles and mains alarms can’t be fitted until that’s all safe. Merry Christmas! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derry Alli Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 See those folk with 3 or 4 BTL flats/houses that charge extortionate rent? I truly hope each and every one of their homes are completely fucked and costs them an absolute fortune to comply. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I truly hope each and every one of their homes are completely fucked and costs them an absolute fortune to comply.There’s a street just down from me where a landlord from down south owns 9 of the 14 semi detached homes and charges £600 a month rent. My pals gran lives on the street and he’s approached her twice asking to buy her home privately. I for one hope he’s completely fucked and ends up having to sell it all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
