Local context

Getting compliant in Glasgow

Glasgow has the largest HMO market in Scotland, with high concentrations in the West End, Southside, and city centre. HMO licensing in Scotland is mandatory under the Housing (Scotland) Act 2006, administered by Glasgow City Council. All licensed HMOs must have a current fire risk assessment covering the property's common areas and fire safety provisions.

Common questions

Do I need a fire risk assessment for my Glasgow HMO?
Yes. All HMOs in Scotland require a fire risk assessment as a condition of the mandatory HMO licence issued by the local council under the Housing (Scotland) Act 2006. Glasgow City Council requires a written fire risk assessment as part of every HMO licence application and renewal.
What fire safety legislation applies to HMOs in Glasgow?
In Scotland, the primary fire safety legislation is the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006, rather than the RRO 2005 which applies in England and Wales. The duties are broadly similar. The responsible person must carry out a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment. BS 9792:2025 remains a relevant benchmark for structuring HMO fire risk assessments in Scotland.
Does Glasgow City Council accept FRASafe reports for HMO licensing?
FRASafe produces a written fire risk assessment structured to BS 9792:2025, covering all the areas Glasgow City Council requires: fire hazards, means of escape, fire detection, fire doors, compartmentation, firefighting equipment, and management procedures. The report is suitable for submission with your Glasgow HMO licence application.
How active is Glasgow City Council's HMO enforcement?
Glasgow City Council is one of the most active HMO licensing authorities in Scotland. The city has a large student population and significant HMO stock across the West End, Southside, and city centre. The council conducts regular inspections and works closely with Scottish Fire and Rescue Service.
How much does a fire risk assessment cost in Glasgow?
Fire risk assessment consultants in Glasgow typically charge £100–£300. FRASafe produces a complete, BS 9792:2025-aligned PDF report for £45, suitable for Glasgow HMO licence applications.
How long does it take?
Most Glasgow landlords complete the assessment in 20–40 minutes. Progress is saved automatically and FRASafe works offline, useful for completing the assessment on-site at your property.
