Thanks Anthony that is a very helpful post. I appreciate people like yourself who take the time and trouble to provide such informative replies.

It is a Victorian building converted in the 1970s to 11 Flats. There is one fire exit route. We have a fire alarm and sounders. These can't be heard in individual flats (not much use !) Are we legally required to have a system that is audible ? Does the fact that we have a system which does not alert individual flat owners affected responsibilities ? The building is managed by Residents Management Company.
