If you manage HMOs, fire safety isn't optional. It's licensing. DoorTRACE gives you a permanent compliance record per property, so when the council inspector arrives, the evidence is already there. Live in your portal. Not buried in a folder share.
Each council has its own HMO licensing scheme, inspection cycle, and reporting format. You're maintaining a spreadsheet per council just to keep track. And the council that visits you next is the one you're least ready for.
Every council has its own HMO licensing scheme, inspection cadence, and required forms. You're running a separate compliance regime for every postcode you operate in.
Twelve months of inspections, defect resolutions, alarm tests, and certificates have to come together at once. Usually with two weeks' notice and no spreadsheet that survived the year.
A complaint from one tenant can trigger an unannounced visit. You don't get to schedule the evidence chase for when it suits you.
HMO landlords sit under a stack of overlapping regimes. Fire safety is the throughline. DoorTRACE is configured for the whole stack, not just the parts that fit neatly.
