UK Hosts - Fire Alarms in bedrooms?

I'm trying to get my 3 story properties up to scratch for the new Fire regulations, and was wondering aside from wired fire alarms on every floor and a heat alarm in the kitchen, does anyone also have fire alarms installed in bedrooms? 

 

This site seems to think that's a requirement but I can't see it anywhere else? https://www.simplybusiness.co.uk/knowledge/articles/new-fire-safety-rules-for-holiday-lets/#:~:text=....

@Harry336 if you go to gov.uk and search for fire regulation guidance you will find a document that helps. Sadly, whilst it requires fire alarms in each bedroom I am afraid it doesn't apply to 3 storey properties. Quite what a 3 storey property needs in not known to me. By the way all the alarms also need to be linked.

Hey there @Harry336 👋

 

Did you manage to find out what regulations there were for fire alarms in your property?

 

It would be great to know what information you found out as it will help other Hosts in future. 😊
