Constable_Savage-
They first phoned the landlord to tell them they'd be coming round for a visit, who then told us.
We didn't have any guns and from what @cake says, they didn't really look like they were looking for guns when they did a very basic search of the house.
CSB I know, I'm just a little bit proud (probably shouldn't be) of the fact I have actually had my place turned over by the police, rather than just worrying about "what if??".
I think for the majority, you're right to question why would they ever be concerned about having their place searched.
For me, not only due to that event, but also because I have an extensive history of being stop and searched on foot and in my car under Section 44, I do worry about what I'm carrying on my person.

In mine and @cake circumstance, we had a (used) pop-up target practice board in the hallway with bullet holes in it which prompted a washing machine repair man to call the police and tell them we had guns in the house.
