London Fire Risk Assessments advice to customers:
London Houses in Multiple Occupancy and Student House Share are at a higher risk of having a Fire mainly due to the number of individuals sharing the facilities.
It is extremely important that Landlords have a suitable and sufficient Fire Safety Risk Assessment for their HMO. As part of the Risk Assessment process the Fire Safety Inspection will note any deficiencies in the premise and identify any additional Fire Safety Protection measure required.
Student should always ask before moving into their London accommodation to witness the Fire Safety Risk Assessment. If there isn’t one then it will show that the Landlord is not fulfilling his lawful duty and highlight that the level of management of the premise is not very good.
