Why fire risk in Southampton is what it is

Southampton's stock is mixed: Victorian terraces converted to flats and HMOs, blocks near the docks, and shops and offices through the city centre. A fire risk assessment is a legal duty for HMO landlords, holiday let hosts and any non-domestic premises — reviewed regularly, not a one-off. Matt assesses every one personally, against BS 9792:2025 or PAS 79-1:2020, whichever fits.

Southampton also asks about

HMO fire door standards, BS 9792 assessments for shared blocks and communal areas, and fire risk assessments for flats. HMO work follows BS 9792:2025; blocks and communal areas follow BS 9792:2025 — the same standard as an HMO.
