Selling Your London Flat & Need Fire Safety Audit quickly? Choose Our ‘Express’ package!


 

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires all Purpose Built Blocks of Flats and Conversions to have an up to date Fire Safety Risk Assessment for the Common Parts – it is the law! Most people find out when they are about to Exchange Contracts, that the Solicitor will need to see the Fire Safety Risk Assessment for the premise and sometimes they want to see an Asbestos report too!

The above situation usually causes a degree of panic and clients can easily make the mistake of appointing the Company that provides the cheapest quote! But there are a few checks that should be carried out before you commit to a Fire Safety Inspection/Audit or the Solicitor might throw it out!

  • Is the Risk Assessor qualified to do the job
  • Are they fully insured – including Professional Indemnity Insurance which has increased considerably since Grenfell
  • Will they provide a ‘suitable and sufficient’ Fire Safety Risk Assessment in line with Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Some Fire Protection Services in London state on the front of their Fire Risk Assessments that the report may not be ‘suitable and sufficient’ so it is up to the client to check!

A ‘suitable and sufficient’ Fire Safety Risk Assessment must include the following parts

A Fire Safety Inspection and Audit carried out by a qualified Fire Risk Assessor

As a Property Management Company, it may well be your responsibility to ensure this is carried out and satisfies the Order.
