Legal Requirements

Why FRA Certificates Are Legally Required for North London Landlords

Fire safety is a key responsibility for landlords. A fire risk assessment legal requirement applies to all shared areas in residential buildings. Keeping a valid assessment helps protect tenants, buildings, and landlords from serious risks.

Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requirement

The Fire Safety Order 2005 sets out clear duties for landlords to manage fire risk. Fire risk assessments North London help identify hazards, record safety measures, and ensure compliance with the law.

April 2026 PEEP Regulations

From April 2026, landlords must provide Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans for residents who need assistance. Having a proper fire risk assessment in place supports safe planning and avoids penalties.

Unlimited Fines & Prosecution

Ignoring fire safety responsibilities can lead to unlimited fines, criminal prosecution, personal liability, and, in serious cases, prison for landlords and managing agents.

Barnet & Haringey enforcement

Barnet and Haringey councils monitor fire safety standards closely. They expect up-to-date FRA certificates, clear records, and completed remedial works to meet local enforcement requirements.

Compliance Deadline Approaching

Don't Risk Prosecution or Insurance Voidance

North London properties without current Fire Risk Assessments are at immediate risk. Protect your property, your tenants, and yourself.

What is the Purpose of Fire Risk Assessment?

A fire risk assessment checks a property for hazards, evaluates risks to occupants, and recommends steps to reduce danger. Landlords use it to meet legal obligations and get a valid fire assessment certificate.

Fire safety risk assessment steps

A proper fire assessment follows clear steps:

Identify Hazards

Check sources of fire, flammable materials, and other risks in the building.

Assess Who's at Risk

Determine which residents, staff, or visitors could be vulnerable in a fire.

Evaluate & Reduce

Decide the level of risk and suggest practical safety measures to lower it.

Record Findings

Document hazards, actions, and responsibilities in a clear report.

Review & Update

Regularly revisit the assessment to keep safety measures current and compliant.

What are the 4 types of fire risk assessment

Type 1

Common Areas Only

Covers shared spaces like corridors and stairwells.

Suitable for small flats.

Type 2

Common + Sample Flats

common questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How does a fire risk assessment help with fire hazards?

A fire risk assessment helps by identifying fire hazards like faulty electrical systems, flammable materials, or blocked exits.
It looks at the likelihood of a fire and the potential consequences if one occurs.
The assessor gives advice on fixing issues, such as adding fire alarms, clearing escape routes, or repairing faulty wiring.

Do fire risk assessments check electrical safety?

Yes, electrical safety is checked during a fire risk assessment.

The assessor looks for issues like overloaded circuits, outdated wiring, or faulty appliances.
If problems are found, they recommend fixing them, but a more detailed inspection requires an electrician.

What documents will I get after the assessment?

A fire risk assessment report that outlines the hazards found and what needs to be fixed.
An action plan with deadlines for repairs or improvements.
Recommendations for updating evacuation plans or improving safety procedures.
Records of any checks or maintenance that have been done.

Can a fire risk assessment help with an evacuation plan?

Yes, it can help by evaluating your current evacuation plan.

They recommend personal evacuation plans for tenants who need extra assistance.

Is a fire risk assessment different for a flat vs. a house?

Yes, the assessment is different for a flat and a house.

In a flat (especially in multi-occupancy buildings), the assessment also looks at shared areas like hallways, stairwells, and fire protection systems for all tenants.

What fire safety equipment gets checked during an assessment?

Fire alarms and smoke detectors to make sure they’re working properly.
Fire extinguishers to ensure they’re in the right places and serviced.
Emergency lighting to guide people out in case of a power failure.
Fire doors to ensure they’re not blocked and can close properly.
Any other fire safety equipment, like sprinklers or fire blankets, depending on the building.

How do fire assessors decide what’s most important to fix?

Assessors prioritize fixes based on the level of risk.
They focus on issues that cause the most danger to people, like blocked exits or faulty alarms.
Anything that increase the risk of a fire or make escape harder gets top priority

What happens if I don’t do a fire risk assessment?

Not doing a fire risk assessment put you in violation of the law, leading to fines or other penalties.
Without an assessment, you miss important safety issues that put people at risk.
Insurance companies refuse to cover you in case of a fire if you don’t have an assessment.
You also be held liable for any harm or damage caused by fire hazards that weren’t addressed.

Can a fire risk assessment improve fire safety training?

Yes, it can highlight areas where fire safety training needs improvement.

Training can be updated based on these findings to make sure everyone knows exactly what to do in case of a fire.
