Property Compliance Consultancy in Cornwall

It depends on the building and how it is let. The Fire Safety Order covers the shared parts of any building with two or more flats, houses in multiple occupation, holiday lets and small commercial premises, and for those a written assessment is needed. A house let to one household is not covered by the Order, though its safety is still dealt with under the housing regime, which is where an HHSRS assessment comes in. For flats it is worth asking for a Type 3 assessment, which also looks at the fire precautions inside the flats under the LACORS guidance.

HHSRS stands for the Housing Health and Safety Rating System. It's a government framework used to assess potential health and safety risks in rental properties. Landlords are required to ensure their properties meet these standards to avoid enforcement action.
