Flats in HMO - do they need FRA?

[Guest Simon Towler]

Hello

Are all flats included in a FRA in an HMO. Or just the common areas?

Thanks

Under the  The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 only the common areas need a FRA but if it is registered as a HMO under the housing act then this covers all the premises, flats and common areas and you will need to contact the local housing authority who enforce the act.
