Landlords often ask not only whether a Legionella risk assessment is needed, but when it makes sense to arrange one. The answer depends on the property, the water system and how actively the property is being managed, but in general it is best handled before it becomes an afterthought.
Common times to arrange one
- When reviewing landlord compliance responsibilities
- When taking on a newly managed property
- When combining related compliance visits
- When a property has had low occupancy or changing usage patterns
Why timing matters
Arranging the assessment early makes it easier to keep records in order and deal with any recommendations in a controlled way rather than under pressure.
