Well.. Long story short.. I got called from work from my letting agent to be told that there are high amount of Carbon monoxide coming out my house. So much that it set of the carbon monoxide alarm in the flat upstairs!
The reading on the meter reading came out at 99,999 ppm and a considered high is 50ppm. I was told if i was asleep i wouldve died!
Few days in a hotel which have been paid by the landlord, The engineer has said that there was a fault from the boiler and as the flue was covered in plants that it trapped the co2 and went through my en-suite extractor fan and entered the house!
My doctor has said i have had high levels of Co2 in my system and has been recorded on my medical record. Apart from the landlord paying for my hotels would i be entitled to any compensation or anything because of this? Considering i nearly died!
I look forward to your response.

Only your medical costs if those were not covered by insurance.
Sorry, but you need to actually die or be disabled in some way in order to cash in on this event.
You didn't nearly die. You could have become ill and I suppose died, but you didn't. Courts don't award damages for "what ifs", they only award damages for what you incurred as the result of someone elses negligence.

Carbon Monoxide Detector - Peak Level Reading Question?
Alex
I have the Kidde KN-COPP-3 detector and I'm having a little trouble figuring out how it's operating.
So far I have not had any alarms go off, and I always get a reading of zero. However, today when I came home I had the "Err" error message displayed, and when I tested the Peak Level Memory it came up as "999." When I test now, however, the unit is reading "0".
How can it be possible that I have had a 999ppm reading and the alarm never went off? Could this be due to the error that was displayed today? The unit was safely plugged in when I checked, my only guess for what might have happened was a brief power surge/outage but my neighbors are saying they didn't have anything of that sort.
Just concerned and wondering what this machine is trying to tell me. I'm looking for a customer service number so I can check it myself.
(For reference, I'm not currently nor have I recently experienced any symptoms of C.O. poisoning, but for safety's sake I've opened my windows and done several Tests on the unit.)
Answer
Check you peak reading often, but 999 would be so lethal. I've heard anything more then 100 for a few minutes can be fatal. Most likely it was apart of your err. message. Mine reads a peak sometimes around 16, but the only time i've seen err or high numbers is when the battery is dead, and changing the battery/resetting the unit.
