Frequently Asked Questions
Is a fire risk assessment compulsory for all HMO licences?
Yes. All mandatory HMO licences require evidence of a fire risk assessment. Many additional and selective licensing schemes require the same.
What’s the difference between a fire risk assessment and a fire safety inspection?
A fire safety inspection is carried out by a fire authority. A fire risk assessment is a document you maintain as the responsible person. Anyrisks generates the latter.
My HMO has 6 bedrooms over 3 floors — is this covered?
Yes — describe the layout, number of storeys, and occupancy and we’ll generate an assessment appropriate to a large HMO.
How often must the fire risk assessment be reviewed?
At least annually, and whenever the property changes significantly — new occupants, refurbishment, or change of use.
How long does it take?
Under 2 minutes. Describe your HMO and Anyrisks produces a fully written fire risk assessment instantly.
