CORE SERVICES
FIRE RISK ASSESSMENTS - a legal requirement your landlords
cannot ignore
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016, landlords are legally required to have a suitable and sufficient Fire Risk Assessment for their properties - particularly HMOs. Many don't have one. Many have one that doesn't meet the standard. That's a liability sitting on your agency's books.

THE PROBLEM VCT SOLVES
SOUND FAMILIAR ?
These are the situations letting agents across South Wales
deal with every week. VCT exists to resolve them - FAST
01
The Problem
Your landlord's HMO has no up-to-date Fire Risk Assessment
HMO licence renewals require a current FRA, if your landlord cant produce one - or the one they have doesn't meet the LACORS standard - the licence application fails and you're fielding the fallout. A non-compliant HMO is also an uninsured liability.
02
THE VCT SOLUTION
An FRA that meets the standard-delivered in 48 hours
VCT Fire Risk Assessments reference LACORS guidance and Welsh legislation specifically. Every report is RAG-rated, photographs every finding, and can be submitted directly to the licensing authority. Bundle with PAT and Legionella for a single visit HMO safety Triple from £395
03
THE PROBLEM
A tenant raises a damp complaint. You need evidence - not opinion.
Your landlord say it's lifestyle. The tenant says it's structural. Without scientific data - moisture readings, RH%, dew point, thermal imaging - you're stuck in the middle with no resolution and no legal cover
04
THE VCT SOLUTION
Forensic data that settles it in 48 hours.
VCT's damp and mould inspection delivers hard evidence, not opinion. Every report references the Rent Homes (Wales) Act 2016 and FFHH standards. States clearly whether the cause is structural or condensation - and is ready to forward to landlord, tenant or council the same day it arrives.
