Your Legal Duty: Landlord & Property Compliance

As a landlord or managing agent, you are legally designated as the "Responsible Person" for your property's fire safety under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (FSO). A suitable and sufficient FRA is a mandatory legal requirement for:

• The communal areas of all blocks of flats and multi-occupied residential buildings.
• All Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) across South Wales.
• Any non-domestic premises (including local offices, shops, and industrial units).

Failure to provide a certified FRA can result in severe penalties. Our tailored services ensure you comply fully with the FSO and recent Welsh amendments.
