YOUR WORKPLACE IN FOCUS
Property & managing agents
Rented homes, commercial premises and shared areas with overlapping responsibilities.
Start with the way you work.
Tell the finder about your premises, nation and people. You can refine the answer as you go.
AN EXAMPLE TO ADAPT“I manage a block of rented flats in England built in 1980. It has shared areas and gas boilers.”
Topics worth checking
These are starting points, not a complete list of obligations.
Does my business need a fire risk assessment?
Start with the risks in your building, the people using it and who is responsible for each part.
Building safetyDo I need a legionella assessment or a water test?
Assess your water system first. An assessment and a water sample answer different questions.
Building safetyWho is responsible for asbestos in our building?
Check responsibility for maintenance and repair before deciding what survey or management work is needed.
Building safetyWhat gas safety checks does a landlord need?
Establish which appliances and flues you are responsible for and use a suitably registered engineer.
Before you ask for a quote
Identify each property, its use, the responsible parties and existing records before buying a portfolio-wide package.
- Which properties and uses are covered by this quote?
- What do the leases and management agreements say?
- How will overdue actions and inaccessible areas be reported?
Specialist activities may need additional assessments, permissions or sector guidance. The finder does not certify compliance or replace a competent assessment of your workplace.
