Default Hypothetical Q - reconnecting to balanced flue


SWMBO wants to move house, and has found a really nice one she likes
the look of. It appears to have been 'done up' really well, although
it has downlighters everywhere - nine in the conservatory alone
(gasp).

The question concerns the fire in the lounge - it currently has an
electric 'contemporary' fire, but goes on to say 'Gas point and
balanced flue still installed if needed'. I like the idea of a 'living
flame' gas fire rather than an electric one, but would it be
acceptable, and possible, to fit such a fire using the balanced flue,
or would some new BR or Elfin Safety intrude here at great expense?

TIA
