8 hours ago8 hr comment_55969 Hi,I've been asked to advise a client on the following scenario and am struggling to provide an answer that either I or the client is happy with.The client owns a flat in converted three-storey terrace house. The house was converted around 20 years ago. The entrance door to the common areas is at ground level at the front of the buidling. The front door to the neighbouring house is next to this door (about 50cm to the side). The neighbouring house is a single three-storey dwelling.A recent T1 FRA of the converted house has just been produced and recommended that the front door to both the converted house and the terrace house be replaced with FD30 fire doors due to their proximity. Although reluctant, my client could replace the front door to the converted house, however there is absolutely no chance his neighbour will replace the front door to his private dwelling. This has resulted in something of an impasse and is holding up the sale of one of the flats in the converted house.Is the recommendation to replace the doors reasonable? And if so, what are my clients options give he has no control over the door to the neighbouring house? Report
