Health & safety audits in HMOs, England & Wales
LRMS provides independent health and safety audits for Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs). Our audits review how effectively your arrangements are working in practice — covering common areas, shared facilities, gas and electrical safety, fire-safety management, contractor control, maintenance and incident management. Findings are rated and prioritised, and each action is assigned an owner, a priority and a target date.
Why local HMOs knowledge matters
HMO health and safety sits at the intersection of the Housing Act 2004, HHSRS and general health and safety law. We understand the realities of HMO management — multiple occupants, shared facilities, tenancy turnover and landlord responsibilities — and deliver proportionate audits that reflect how HMOs actually operate.
H&S audits across HMOs premises
We undertake health and safety audits across commercial, residential and specialist premises. The scope is agreed according to your organisation, activities, risks and applicable legal requirements.

HMOs health & safety audit FAQs
What does an HMO H&S audit cover?
Our audit reviews common areas, shared facilities, gas and electrical safety, fire-safety management, contractor control, maintenance, incident management and emergency arrangements.
Is the audit a pass or fail?
No. We rate findings rather than issuing a pass or fail — conforming, improvement opportunity, action required, or high priority.
Can you combine an HMO H&S audit with a fire risk assessment?
Yes. Where appropriate, we can deliver both in a single coordinated site visit — one consultant, one report cycle and one point of contact.
