This suggests there should be fire doors plus a mains connected smoke alarm.

While you sort this out, get yourself some smoke alarms. Also get the local fire brigade round to do a safety check, they can advise you how to prevent a fire in the first place.

Had planning regs and safety around this morning from local council.
Loft conversion is illegal for habitable area.
Therefore 2 bed now a one bedroom flat.
The planning gut is writing to landlord and letting agent to advise them of his findings.
Where do I stand on living there now I. E. I guess I can be asked to move out etc but I don't have enough money to put another deposit down before the return of the present one.

LL is running a business so should be au fait with all relevant current legislation. Endangering other peoples lives is the priority. Not concerning oneself with how the LL feels.

And asked if was safe which I was told it was.

On what basis did they say it was unsafe?
