 I have a detached property that has been converted into 2 apartments, one on the ground floor and one on the first floor. The g/f lobby area measures approximately 2 metres x 1 metre and contains both the entrance doors. The left-hand door leads straight into the g/f apartment and the right door leads up the stairs into the first-floor apartment. The g/f apartment has an additional 2 exit doors into the rear and side of the garden, the top floor apartment only has the one front exit door. Should the front doors into the apartments be Fire doors?

When was the conversion carried out?

About 10 years ago

Because of the internal lobby you'd expect fire doors unless they got a relaxation because of the ground floor alternative exits and first floor escape windows - if the doors are original to the conversion they must have been acceptable to building control.
