Landlords and property agents managing Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) in London are obligated to adhere to rigorous fire safety standards to safeguard occupants and minimize fire risks. This case study by Landlords Checks highlights our commitment to conducting thorough fire risk assessments tailored specifically for HMO properties, ensuring compliance with UK health and safety regulations.
Project Overview: Landlords Checks was approached by the managing agent of an HMO property in London, seeking assistance in performing a comprehensive fire safety assessment. The objective was to evaluate the existing fire safety measures, identify potential hazards, and recommend necessary improvements to enhance the property’s fire safety standards.
Client Engagement: Upon contacting Landlords Checks through phone (020 8609 7777) and email (info@landlordschecks.co.uk), the managing agent expressed their requirement for a detailed fire risk assessment at the HMO property. Impressed by our reputation for reliability and expertise in fire safety assessments, they entrusted us with the project.
Assessment Process: Our team of experienced fire risk assessors conducted a meticulous review of the HMO property, focusing on critical aspects such as fire detection systems, fire doors in communal areas, emergency lighting, and signage. The assessment also encompassed the evaluation of firefighting methods, including the suitability and accessibility of fire extinguishers.
Outcome: Following a thorough evaluation, Landlords Checks confirmed that the HMO property met the necessary fire safety standards mandated by legislation. While minor areas for improvement were identified, overall compliance was achieved. A comprehensive report detailing the findings and recommendations was provided to the managing agent for their records.

We needed the FRA done for our new building urgently. Called their customer service around 11am and they arranged someone to be on site in the evening around half 6 same day. Although we had to pay extra for getting this arranged but it was worth. Time was more important for us than the money. Received the report within 48 hours too. Saved us from a big trouble. Definitely be using them again for new projects. Thank you
