Council want to inspect my flat

But not if it's someone from the HMO team. They have nothing to do with enforcement of fire regs. That would be building control.No free lunch, and no free laptop

Just so long as I don't want much.0 -

I'd have thought building control would only get involved if building work/alterations are going on.
I think fire regs in existing building is part of environmental health who generally do the HMO inspections too0 -

Nope neither would I, my comment didn't say that either.
It said: ask them why? this meant ask them why...politely.Unless specifically stated all posts by me are my own considered opinion.
If you don't like my opinion feel free to respond with your own.0 -
do the council still own the building? if so I think they still retain some rights to inspect your property even if you buy it as there may be problems that arise that could affect either yours or they're flats. it may be the inspection has flagged an issue/potential issue and they need to see if it affects you?
best bet is to give them a call and ask why they need to visit and go from therethis year do something that scares you for courage is not the absence of fear just the knowledge that some things are worth the risk0
