[Freeholder as landlord]

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

[Freeholder as landlord]

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.
