I rent a two-floor maisonette in a two-level block belonging to a social landlord.
Party walls are cinder block but all internal partitions are Paramount wallboard except for the one that forms the internal stairwell.
When a property becomes void, the landlord sends in contractors to replace the wallboard with stud. I don't know if they do this because of regulations or that it might be advantageous in tarting it up for selling as an 'affordable home'.
Is one any better than the other in a fire situation?
Thanks for any info.
