6 en-suites with electric showers - How to keep it safe !?!?

[EFLImpudence]

I would disagree with that.

It's more that when buildings are converted to flats, the contractors don't install the gas to each flat.

Flats are much more attractive with a gas supply and central heating.

It's not flats, it's HMO.

I work for loads of landlords, ditching gas is common.

Mix of things.

6 gas meters
6 boilers + service
6 gas checks yearly

 

[Iggifer]

I would never rent anywhere without gas. Simples. Did it once, never again.

 

[AndyPRK]

I guess these ppl don't have much of a choice.

Communal boiler(s), large cylinder(s) and metered DHW and hot water for radiators?

A landlord is running a business. He wants to lower is commitments to the property. Gas costs more for landlords. Just the way it is.

Don't need six en-suites then.

No, but luxury for an HMO.

Fine. He pays the servicing, safety check, insurance. Your rents higher. No probs.

I was assuming the en-suit was the only bathroom. A 3 room bedsit ?

I'm curious ... if it's/they're communal boiler(s), how do you meter DHW? Or do you expect the student-type tenants to all chip in when the bill comes?

Hot water meter for each tenant. Landlord would have to set the cost allowing for gas and water use etc.

There is a load of local apartments that have this arrangement. Each appartment has a cold water meter, a DHW meter and a central heating meter.
