What is a Fire Risk Assessment?
A Fire Risk Assessment (FRA) is a systematic review of a property that identifies fire hazards, evaluates who is at risk from them, and records what action is needed to reduce that risk to an acceptable level. A NEBOSH qualified assessor examines means of escape, fire doors, fire alarms, emergency lighting and escape route signage, and produces a written report with a prioritised action plan.
A written Fire Risk Assessment is compulsory for every HMO under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. This national duty applies in Harrow as it does across England, an HMO licence can add fire safety conditions on top, and single-let landlords are strongly advised to hold one too.
Fire Risk Assessment in Harrow — local property context
Harrow's housing is mostly inter-war: 41.6% of council tax properties date from the 1930s alone, against 16.0% across London, and only 10.3% were built before 1919 (VOA 2025). Houses outnumber flats. In Census 2021, 11.3% of households lived in detached houses and 26.2% in purpose-built flats, against 6.1% and 40.3% London-wide.
In Census 2021, 10.4% of Harrow households rented from a social landlord, under half the London share of 23.1%, while 58.8% owned their home (London 45.2%). Our NEBOSH qualified assessors are experienced with the escape routes, fire doors and communal areas typical of properties across the HA2, HA3, HA1, HA7, HA5, HA8 postcode areas, and regularly carry out Fire Risk Assessments across Harrow for private landlords, letting agents and HMO operators.

Fire risk assessments in Harrow: family houses turned into shared homes
Harrow's December 2025 HMO review notes a significant increase in two-storey houses originally designed for families, and in flats, being converted into HMOs.
Condition 19 of Harrow's 2026 HMO conditions sets the alarm minimum an assessment of one of those houses should check against, and it adds extra detectors wherever a corridor runs over 5m. Give the assessor the length of any long hall or landing.
Condition 27 then makes the assessment itself a licence term, with hazards documented and minimised where possible.
