Why London Landlords and Businesses Need a Fire Risk Assessment

London’s housing stock includes a high proportion of converted properties, HMOs, and high-rise residential blocks — all of which carry higher fire risk and closer regulatory scrutiny than typical single-family homes. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the “Responsible Person” for a non-domestic building or the common areas of a residential block must carry out and maintain a fire risk assessment.

London boroughs are also known for active enforcement, meaning landlords and businesses without a valid, up-to-date fire risk assessment face a real risk of fines, enforcement notices, or prosecution if a fire safety issue is identified — whether or not an incident has occurred.

If your building is a taller residential block, you may also need to consider the newer Residential PEEPs requirements that came into force in April 2026, alongside your standard fire risk assessment.
