For HMO landlords, flat-block managers and business owners across Salford. One visit by a competent assessor, a clear prioritised action plan, and a report Salford City 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 Salford it comes up directly at licensing: Salford City Council requires a current assessment when you apply for or renew an HMO licence.
Salford's licensing landscape has been changing. The city's additional HMO licensing scheme ran to July 2026, and parts of Salford are covered by selective licensing, with a further citywide HMO licensing scheme consulted on in 2026. Whichever applies to your property, the fire risk assessment requirement doesn't change — you can confirm your property's licensing status on the Salford City Council landlord licensing pages.
An assessment costs less than a week of lost rent, takes one visit, and ends the question for a year.
