Seems like it’s not enforceable at all.
A quote “some people can’t afford them” well fuckin take it off the money you’re selling the house for or fit them as it says in the home report you fuckin cunts
Also unsurprisingly my solicitor is a fuckin imbecile and she has the rudest cunt going working for her which I’ve bit my lip on but once I’m over the line I’m gonna roast the cunt and find another.

It’s a legal requirement to have interlinked fire alarms in a house you own.
That said, how this is enforced through a sale or purchase isn’t very clear. From my experience, when we sold we had to have everything done to the current legal standards because we’d done work in the house and BC were involved. The house we bought had 3 battery powered smoke alarms which don’t meet the legal standards and it never came up as they had done no work in the past 20 years (our solicitor asked and we just said we would bring the property up to legal standard)
I think it depends on what you’re selling and what you’re buying. I guess you could ask a seller to bring a place up to legal standard though…
