Guest JUlie Posted March 26, 2021 Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 HI I am in process of selling a flat purpose built with one entrance and communal area, providing access to separate properties with own front doors Block is 3 stories high. Now buyer is insisting on a fire risk assessment report current within 5 years and any remedial work needed. Also how work would be paid for. Flat is leasehold. Is this a legal requirement and who is responsible for providing this information? Also how do you get a report. any information would be great. Thanks Julie.

AnthonyB Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 If you are in England or Wales and you are in a block of flats with communal space it has been a legal requirement since 2006 to have a Fire Risk Assessment for the common parts. The Responsible Person under the legislation (which is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005) would be the freeholder, or if right to manage has been invoked and the freehold purchased by the tenants, the Tenant Management Company. Usually a competent third party competent person would carry out the assessment, who should ideally be listed here: https://www.firesectorfederation.co.uk/fire-risk-assessment/fire-risk-assesment-directory/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
