There is no obligation for a private house owner to install heat/ smoke detectors entirely their own choice The council has no input to an electrical condition report it is purely what it says it is An Electrical Condition Report and nowhere in BS7671 does it state that smoke alarms need to be installed other than when the house has been Rewired or under gone other major renovations Your insurance company may offer reduced premiums if they are installed Regards David

Must be hard wired so that if the battery goes flat the alarm will still work

Hi if the consumer unit has been change or a rewire has taken place or extension built then you will need hard wired smoke and heat alarms.
