Hancock and Partners’ Property Management Team on Smoke Alarm Campaign

According to Alarms4Life, people are four times more likely to die in house fires if they don’t have smoke alarms in place. Carbon monoxide poisoning is also a major threat since it kills an estimated 30-50 people each year in the UK. To reduce the risks and possible casualties due to these hazards, new safety laws have been implemented since the first of October 2015. Landlords are now required to fit their properties with smoke alarms on every floor and carbon monoxide alarms in properties, which have solid fuel. To do our part, Hancock and Partners’ property management team ran a promotion to offer all landlords in Chichester free installation of alarms during October. Prior to the implementation of the new safety laws, approximately 50 per cent of all properties managed by Hancock and Partners had already been fitted with smoke alarms. Once the new legislation was announced, our property management team in Chichester quickly took action.
