Fire risks in rental properties can be high

Rental properties generally are subject to a greater fire risk. According to Firemark the risk of a fire in rented homes is a full seven times higher than in owner occupied ones.

Landlords have substantial responsibilities

As part of their duty of care to tenants and others all landlords should fully assess fire risks in their property. In the case of HMOs and selective licensing schemes this is a specific legal requirement: A written fire risk assessment or FRA will usually need to be submitted as part of your licence application or renewal.

While some aspects of fire risk are common sense to some degree many others are highly technical. That means a comprehensive, compliant FRA should always be prepared by experts.
