I recently acquired on eBay a 2 yrs old kitchen that will fit almost
perfectly into a property I am renovating for rental.

The sink is a dual bowl 'granite effect ' like this

Now the sink has no holes for overflows in either bowls ( no position
partially drilled either ) and I'm a bit concerned that careless
tenants could leave taps running whilst distracted elsewhere causing
a flood in the kitchen and resultant damage to kitchen
units/flooring etc.
The idea is that each bowl acts as an over flow for the other - not a
flawless idea IMO

This is becoming more & more common to have double bowl sinks without an
overflow as we know it. I agree with geoff, not a flawless idea.

One solution is to use tubes instead of plugs - they do this in commercial
kitchens - not sure about sizes - you might have to shop around.

The question is one of whether you can find pipework to include an
overflow

Two sinks discharging into the same waste pipe isn't a problem, can be an
embuggerance to fit though. Might need to lower the point where the waste
goes out through the wall to allow for the deeper bowl etc.
