COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions answered
We understand that property compliance can feel overwhelming, so we’ve answered some common questions to help make things clearer.
01.
Do I need a fire risk assessment for my rental property?
If you rent out a small commercial property, holiday let, or HMO, you are legally required to have a fire risk assessment in place. This helps ensure your property is safe and meets legal fire safety standards.
02.
What is an HHSRS assessment?
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.
03.
How much does an assessment cost?
Costs vary depending on the type, size and layout of your property. We’ll provide a personalised quote after discussing your needs — no obligation, no hidden fees.
04.
How long does the process take?
On-site assessments typically take 1 to 2 hours. Once completed, we aim to deliver your report within a few working days, depending on the type of service.
05.
What areas do you cover?
We offer in-person services across Devon and Cornwall, with digital consultations available for some services if you’re based further afield.
06.
Can you help me prepare for a council inspection?
Absolutely. With over 20 years of combined experience in housing compliance – including working within local authority teams – we know what enforcement officers are looking for. We’ll help you feel confident and prepared.
