The University of Surrey campus and surrounding student accommodation areas in Guildford generate very significant demand for HMO and residential fire risk assessments. The university attracts over 15,000 students, the majority of whom live off-campus in HMOs across Burpham, Merrow, Onslow Village, Stoughton, Park Barn and surrounding areas. Guildford Borough Council actively enforces HMO licensing compliance in these areas.

HMO landlords in Guildford

The University of Surrey area has the highest concentration of HMOs in Guildford. All HMOs serving the university student population require valid fire risk assessments for Guildford Borough Council licence applications. BS 9792:2025-compliant assessments are expected by the Council's licensing team.

The University of Surrey campus buildings themselves are managed directly by the university's estates team. However, all off-campus commercial premises, including those providing services to the university community, require current fire risk assessments.
