FAQ

Common questions.

Can't find what you're looking for? Email our team — we're always happy to help.

What is a Legionnaire risk assessment and when do I need one?
A Legionnaire risk assessment is a legal requirement under HSE ACoP L8 for anyone responsible for a water system in non-domestic premises — and strongly recommended for all HMOs and rental properties with water storage or heating. It should be reviewed at least every two years, or after significant changes to the water system.
How often do I need a fire risk assessment?
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires that fire risk assessments are kept up to date. In practice, most premises should be reviewed at least annually, or after significant changes to the building, its occupancy or its use. DutyBound tracks review dates and sends automatic reminders well in advance.
What is an EICR and is it a legal requirement for rental properties?
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) assesses the safety of a property's fixed electrical installation. Since July 2020, EICRs have been a legal requirement for all private rental properties in England and must be renewed every five years or at change of tenancy.
What is PAT testing and who needs it?
Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) checks the electrical safety of moveable appliances. Landlords providing appliances to tenants should arrange annual PAT testing. Any business with portable electrical equipment also has a duty of care under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989.
How does the DutyBound client portal work?
Each property you add gets its own site portal — a centralised hub showing compliance status across all five services. You can book tests, download reports, track outstanding actions, share access with tenants or contractors and set up automatic renewal reminders — all from one place.
Can I share report access with tenants or contractors?
Yes. DutyBound supports role-based access sharing. Tenants can be given view-only access to relevant certificates. Contractors can access survey forms and upload data. Co-managers or letting agents can be granted full or limited site access, all managed securely from your account.
