Soon as my sis said about it, I said well, new build only, obviously? But no, every property.
It is a good idea in theory, but it would have been a lot easier for the end user to subsidise some sort of approved system, and you pay fifty quid to get a box of standard stuff in the post, or something.
I guess if you don't do it, then good luck with your insurance if you have a fire, and probably it will be inspected when you sell the house.
I also don't quite understand the interlinking. In my house, if my upstairs alarm goes, or the kitchen one, or whatever, I have a rough idea where the problem is and can plan accordingly. Don't open the kitchen door, or go out the back or whatever. If it's all interlinked then I lose that information and might make a poor choice of exit route?
None of which makes me think it a bad idea of course.
