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 Sutton 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 Sutton — local property context
Sutton's largest building era is the inter-war period: 40.6% of its 86,290 council tax properties date from 1919 to 1939, and 30.6% from the 1930s alone (VOA 2025). Semi-detached houses are home to 27.9% of households, and only 3.9% live in flats in converted or shared houses (Census 2021). The council's stock study adds that only about 5% of the borough's housing predates 1900.
The council's 2025 study estimated 942 HMOs in Sutton. Since 22 March 2026, HMOs of 3 or more people from more than one household need a licence. Our NEBOSH qualified assessors are experienced with the escape routes, fire doors and communal areas typical of properties across the SM1, SM6, SM5, SM2, SM3, KT4, CR0 postcode areas, and regularly carry out Fire Risk Assessments across Sutton for private landlords, letting agents and HMO operators.

Fire risk assessments in Sutton: mostly whole shared houses
Houses make up 86% of the HMOs in the council's 2025 estimate. Most Sutton assessments are therefore of a whole house shared by its occupiers, not a flat in a block. Sutton's licence conditions say the council "may request and audit" the assessment.
