Legionella risk assessments for portfolio landlords
With a handful of properties, the hard part is not the assessment — it is knowing that every property has a current one, that the evidence behind it still exists, and that the actions arising were actually done.

- The outcome up front: risk outcome, the reasons behind it and the suggested review date.
- Every outlet room by room, including outlets excluded from measurement and why.
- Hot, cold and blended temperature readings with the run time recorded for each.
- Findings with the recommended actions written against the outlet they relate to.
- Photo evidence, the signed declaration, the method, limitations and version stamps.
The principle to hold onto
A Legionella risk assessment is per property. Portfolio scale changes how you organise the work, not what each assessment has to contain.
So the goal is a repeatable routine: the same prompts on every property, evidence captured on site rather than reconstructed later, and a review date you are reminded about.
What you get
- One register of every property, with the water system recorded per property
- A property-specific assessment for each address — never one portfolio-wide document
- Guided hot and cold observations tied to the named outlet and the date taken
- Photo evidence attached to the finding it supports, kept private to your workspace
- Findings and remedial actions with owners and completion dates
- Versioned reports with a verification reference you can share with tenants or lenders
- Review reminders per property at 30 days, 7 days and on the day
- A dashboard view of what is assessed, what is due and what is outstanding
A routine that scales
- 1
Build the register once
Add every property with its water system. Later assessments reuse it, so you describe a cylinder or a combi once per property, not once per year.
- 2
Batch the site visits
Assess on site from a phone, recording outlets, observations and photos as you walk the property.
- 3
Escalate the exceptions
Use the suitability check to identify properties that should go to a competent specialist, and keep that decision in the record.
- 4
Close the actions
Track remedial actions to completion with owners and dates rather than in a notebook.
- 5
Let review dates come to you
Reminders arrive before each property is due, and events like voids or system changes prompt an earlier look.
Questions portfolio landlords ask
Can I do one assessment for the whole portfolio?
No. The assessment has to reflect the water system, outlets and occupancy of the specific property. Two flats in the same block can differ — one on a combi, one with a cylinder and a little-used shower.
How do I keep on top of when each one is due?
Set a review date per property and let the reminders do the work. Review is also triggered by events: a change to the water system, a long void, a new tenancy, or a case of Legionnaires' disease connected to the property.
Do I need a contractor for every property?
Not usually for simple domestic systems, where a landlord who understands the property can carry out the assessment. Complex systems, vulnerable occupants, spas, pools or cooling equipment should go to a competent specialist.
What if I take on properties mid-year?
Assess on acquisition. A record made by the previous owner tells you about a system you have not inspected, and the duty follows control of the premises.
Start with one property
Run the free suitability check, assess that property end to end, then decide whether the record is the standard you want across the portfolio.
