Common questions

Do I legally need a fire risk assessment for my holiday let?
Yes. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (RRO 2005) applies to all premises where members of the public may be present, including holiday lets. You are required to carry out a 'suitable and sufficient' fire risk assessment and keep it under review. From April 2026, the England Short-Term Let Registration Scheme will require evidence of fire safety compliance.
What is the England STL Registration Scheme?
The England Short-Term Let (STL) Registration Scheme launches in April 2026. All hosts offering short-term holiday accommodation in England will need to register their property and demonstrate compliance with fire safety requirements, including producing a fire risk assessment. FRASafe produces the documentation you need.
Will platforms like Airbnb ask for a fire risk assessment?
Airbnb's hosting standards require hosts to meet all applicable fire safety laws, including conducting a fire risk assessment. As regulatory scrutiny increases, having a documented FRA protects you as a host and demonstrates compliance to your platform and guests.
How is a holiday let FRA different from an HMO FRA?
The core principles are the same: identify hazards, assess risk, and take action. But holiday lets need to account for transient guests who are unfamiliar with the property and escape routes. FRASafe's holiday let questionnaire includes a dedicated Guest Safety Management module covering fire action notices in bedrooms, guest information packs, and emergency exit clarity.
How much does it cost?
The assessment is completely free to complete. You pay £45 once you're ready to download your finished, signed PDF report.
How long does it take?
Most hosts complete it in 20–30 minutes. Progress is saved automatically, so you can pause and return at any time, including offline.
