Hey Tom thanks for the reply. So our house is a 4 floor converted victorian house which I have the freehold, I also have the leasehold for the flat on the bottom 2 floors and someone else has the leasehold for the flat on the 2 top floors. This is what the email is stating: As a landlord of the property, there must be a risk assessment in place to comply with the Fire Safety Order. Landlords have certain legal obligations when it comes to fire safety and the protection of their properties and the people residing there. I am then told: its not as simple as having a few fire extinguishers and that fire safety largely depends on the the potential risks and different types of buildings. As a landlord because i own the freehold of the building, i have to carry out the risk assessment in all areas of my property and this will advise risks and any action to be taken. The email goes on to say: That I also need an asbestos assessment for the communal area. Can you advise as i am so confused and have no idea how to do this and weather I need to provide a written report etc.. I did download a form that i found when reading through what other people had asked but not sure if i can use this. Its the Safelincs FIRE RISK ASSESSMENT – Self Assessment Many Thanks Emma
