Fire Risk Assessment for Airbnb & Short-Term Lets — Done in Minutes
Hosting on Airbnb or running a holiday let? Generate your fire risk assessment before your guests arrive — or before your council asks for it.
🏡 Short-term let (STL) licensing is expanding across the UK. Scotland requires STL operators to hold a licence — which includes a fire risk assessment. Similar requirements are being introduced in parts of England. Don’t wait until you’re asked.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this satisfy the Scottish STL licence fire risk assessment requirement?
Anyrisks generates a structured fire risk assessment that covers the standard requirements. We recommend cross-referencing with your local council’s specific checklist, as criteria can vary by authority.
I let just one room in my own home — do I need a fire risk assessment?
For resident landlords letting a room in your own home, a full fire risk assessment may not be legally required. However, it is good practice and some platforms and insurers now recommend it.
My property has a hot tub and outdoor fire pit — are those covered?
Yes — mention them in your description and we’ll include outdoor fire and scalding risks in your assessment.
How often should I review the fire risk assessment?
At least annually, or when anything significant changes at the property — new appliances, structural changes, or a change in guest profile.
How long does it take?
Under 2 minutes. Describe your property and Anyrisks produces a fully written fire risk assessment instantly.
