Fire Risk Assessments for Managing Agents

One portfolio. Multiple buildings. Different risks and responsibilities. Fire risk assessments designed for managing agents who need clear evidence, consistent reporting and confidence across every property they oversee.

What we find

The challenge is rarely one building

Managing agents are often responsible for multiple properties, multiple stakeholders and multiple sets of fire safety obligations at the same time.

The difficulty is not identifying risk in a single building. It is maintaining consistency across an entire portfolio while keeping directors, freeholders, residents, insurers and contractors informed.

ClearFire assessments are structured with portfolio management in mind. Findings are clear, actions are prioritised and reporting remains consistent across the buildings under your responsibility.

The challenge is rarely one building

Recurring findings across managed portfolios

Drawn from recurring issues identified across residential, mixed-use and commercial portfolios managed by agents and block managers.

Outdated assessments

Existing assessments remain on file despite significant building, occupancy or management changes.

Unclear responsibilities

Confusion between landlord, managing agent, resident management company and contractor obligations.

Fire door records

Inspections completed inconsistently or records unavailable when requested.

Contractor oversight

Remedial actions instructed but not tracked through to completion.

Incomplete documentation

Fire safety records spread across multiple systems, contractors and property managers.

Resident communication

Important fire safety information not consistently shared with residents or occupiers.

Outstanding actions

Historic recommendations remain unresolved due to unclear ownership or prioritisation.

Portfolio inconsistency

Different reporting formats across buildings make comparison and oversight difficult.

Evidence gaps

Documentation missing when insurers, auditors or stakeholders request supporting evidence.

Built for portfolios, not individual reports

Your assessment arrives as a signed PDF with a management summary, photographic evidence linked to every finding and a separate evidence appendix that supports reporting across multiple properties.

Findings are prioritised using the PAS 79-1 risk matrix, helping managing agents understand which actions require immediate attention and which can be planned across the wider portfolio.
