⚡ Answered within 2 hours during business hours. No obligation, no pressure.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the "Responsible Person" — the licence holder, landlord or employer, not your letting agent — must hold a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment and keep it up to date. In Flint it comes up directly at licensing: Flintshire County Council requires a current assessment when you apply for or renew an HMO licence.
Large HMOs — those let to five or more people from two or more households — need a mandatory HMO licence, and in Wales every private landlord and agent must be registered and licensed through Rent Smart Wales. Whichever applies to your property, the fire risk assessment duty under the Fire Safety Order 2005 does not change. You can confirm your property's licensing status on the Flintshire County Council website.
An assessment costs less than a week of lost rent, takes one visit, and ends the question for a year.
