The regulatory landscape for HMO fire safety is intricate, encompassing several key pieces of UK legislation and government guidance. We stay ahead of the curve, ensuring your property adheres to all relevant requirements, including:

  • The Housing Act 2004: This act lays the foundation for HMO licensing and management, with fire safety being a critical component.

  • The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: This crucial legislation places the responsibility for fire safety on the "responsible person," typically the landlord or managing agent, requiring a thorough fire risk assessment.

  • Local Authority Licensing Conditions: Many local councils impose additional, specific fire safety requirements as part of their HMO licensing schemes.

  • Government Guidance Documents: We meticulously follow the latest guidance issued by the UK government to ensure best practices are implemented.
