Advice on new install central heating and hot water setup for a 6 bed HMO

[muggles]

yes i know a licence is needed,
yes i know how much it costs,
yes i know what the specific requirements for space heating are for the council - i have listed them above.
yes i know about fit and proper person etc,
yes i know about the fines,
yes i know about managment roles etc.

im enquiring about the boiler and heating aspects only, not about other rules and regulations of a HMO or rented property.

Well aren't you the stroppy one...people are just trying to help, no need to get an attitude over it

I do like the idea what jeff the gasman suggested of tamper proof programmers and limit stats with a boost button and locked TRVs. I have read of another landlord who also has remote access to the stat and central heating system and monitors it from home?

I still think that the easiest way to achieve this would be with a UFH manifold connected to the rads. That way, all the control gear can be locked away in one cupboard, save for a boost button in each room, and you can have remote access via an app

I think you would get a much better response on a HMO related website/group.

I would suggest you search HMO on Facebook, you will find loads of great groups who will be able to help with this kind of query.
e.g.
https://www.facebook.com/groups/housesofmultipleoccupancy/
https://www.facebook.com/groups/officialhmo/?fref=ts
https://www.facebook.com/groups/214478785571756/

With regards to the programmers/Thermostat - The Inspire Landlord Thermostat is the only real option for HMO properties - https://www.inspirehomeautomation.co.uk/landlords.php

Well if you know how to do everything then why is "consult a gas safe engineer to advise on the system to be installed" one of the things on your list?

Or could it just be that "free advice" from a forum is at the top of your list?

Just because you go to bed at 9 pm why do you think your tenants don't want to stay up until midnight?

Or work nights.

I get the feeling, from looking at all of his posts, that he thinks he's hit upon a great money-making wheeze of turning a large house into an HMO, doesn't have a clue how to actually do it, insists that it's just like a normal rented house, and puts his fingers in his ears and goes "nahnahnahnahnahnahnahnahnahnahnahnahnahnah" whenever anybody tells him that it is very much not.
