For HMO landlords, flat-block managers and business owners across Glossop. One visit by a competent assessor, a clear prioritised action plan, and a report High Peak Borough Council, your insurer and your licensing officer will accept.
⚡ 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 Glossop it comes up directly at licensing: High Peak Borough 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 licence anywhere in England, and parts of Glossop are also covered by additional or selective licensing. Whichever applies to your property, the fire risk assessment requirement does not change. You can confirm your property's licensing status on the High Peak Borough Council website.
An assessment costs less than a week of lost rent, takes one visit, and ends the question for a year.
