Hello.
A Victorian house was converted into 4 flats pre 1991. 1 flat on each floor. 3 share a communal entrance/hallway. 2 flats sharing the communal hallway are rented out. The flats are leashold and the freeholder lives in the basement flat.
I have lots of questions and would like to know who I can instruct to answer them. I have read lots of the Regs/guidance and end up going around in circles. Some questions include:
1. Are we an unlicensed HMO?
2. Do we need a fire safety assessment covering the entire building not just the communal hallway?
3. Will a FSA advise us what fire alarm system we need?
4. Who's responsible the freeholder or the landlords? The management company no longer exists.
Can anyone recommend someone in London I can pay to hold my hand on this so that I can make sure everything is as it should be.
Many thanks
