Fire escape from 4th floor

[Guest Jools]

Hi

we've just purchased a 4 story edwardian terrace property and want to let it out As a holiday property. 8 bed and max 16 people.

property only has a front and back door - do you have to have a 4 story fire escape as there isn't one fitted.

 

thanks

It is impossible to give a definitive answer without a lot more information and possible a physical inspection but Cornwall has produced some guidance on holiday lets which you may find useful.
