Before you start

HMO assessment questions

Do I legally need a fire risk assessment for my HMO?
Yes. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (RRO 2005) requires the responsible person to carry out a 'suitable and sufficient' fire risk assessment for any HMO. This applies to all houses in multiple occupation, whether or not they require a licence. Most councils also require a written fire risk assessment as part of mandatory, additional, and selective HMO licence applications.
What is BS 9792:2025 and does it apply to my HMO?
BS 9792:2025 is the British Standard for fire risk assessments in premises other than dwellinghouses. It applies to HMOs and sets out what a 'suitable and sufficient' fire risk assessment should cover: fire hazards, means of escape, structural fire protection, and fire detection systems. FRASafe is built to BS 9792:2025, so your report meets the current legal expectation.
Will my council accept a FRASafe report for HMO licensing?
FRASafe produces a written fire risk assessment structured to BS 9792:2025 and the RRO 2005, which is the standard most councils reference in their HMO licensing guidance. The report includes all sections councils typically require: property details, occupancy, fire hazards, means of escape, detection and warning systems, structural fire protection, action plan, and assessor declarations.
How often does an HMO fire risk assessment need to be reviewed?
The RRO 2005 requires you to review your fire risk assessment regularly and whenever there is reason to believe it is no longer valid. For example: after a change to the property, a change in occupancy, or following a fire or near-miss. Best practice under BS 9792:2025 is an annual review. FRASafe sends you a reminder when your assessment is due.
What does an HMO fire risk assessment cover?
FRASafe's HMO questionnaire covers: fire hazards and ignition sources; means of escape including corridors, stairwells, and escape routes; structural fire protection including fire doors and compartmentation; fire detection and warning systems; firefighting equipment; emergency lighting; management procedures; and a prioritised action plan for any deficiencies found.
Can I do a fire risk assessment myself for my HMO?
Yes. The RRO 2005 requires the assessment to be carried out by a 'competent person'. That includes the landlord or manager, as long as they have sufficient knowledge of the property and fire safety principles. FRASafe guides you through every question, ensuring your assessment is structured and documented to BS 9792:2025. For larger or more complex HMOs (5+ storeys, unusual layouts, high-risk occupants), consider engaging a qualified fire risk assessor.
How much does it cost?
You pay a one-off £45 for your finished, signed PDF report. Submit it to your council for HMO licensing or keep it on file for inspection.
How long does it take?
Most landlords complete it in 20–35 minutes. Progress is saved automatically, so you can pause and return at any time. The assessment works offline, so you can complete it on-site without a signal.
