    Report summary

    Fehim Ahmet was sitting in a café when a man fell through a skylight from the flat roof above and struck him.

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Lack of estate-agent guidance on action regarding particular property hazards

    Wider context from the report

    “1. I heard at inquest that, as industry standard, there is no requirement or even guidance regarding action to be taken by estate agents about particular property hazards, say noting on the property file to warn tenants about a flat roof that is easily accessible via a window but is not in fact safe to access. Such information is not automatically passed on when tenants change and is not necessarily enshrined in the tenancy agreement. 2. In this instance the café owner downstairs had rung the estate agent to complain about tenants from the upstairs flat being on the roof of the café and it was reported there were emails about this, but nobody from the estate agency had made a note or followed up with the tenants. ”

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Reinforce new tenancy agreements with explicit prohibitions on accessing non-designated areas, including flat roofs.

    Verbatim wording from the response

    “While we are always willing to implement reasonable measures to improve tenant safety, we maintain that tenants must also exercise basic personal responsibility and adhere to the terms of their tenancy agreement. Climbing through a window that is not designed for access is an unacceptable misuse of the property. However, considering this unfortunate incident, we are taking the following steps:”

    How this respondent position was interpreted

    PFD Monitor created a concise, searchable interpretation from the published response wording shown below.

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    The landlord and café owner were responsible for taking further action to prevent unauthorised access to the flat roof.

    Verbatim wording from the response

    “As letting agents, we are not responsible for the flat roof, which is under the control of the landlord and the commercial tenant below. The café owner as the occupier of the premises below also bears responsibility for ensuring that the roof structure remains safe and secure. Whilst we were informally made aware of previous concerns regarding individuals on the roof, we contacted former tenants each time to reinforce that the roof is not accessible and not a part of their property. Ultimately, it was the responsibility of the landlord and café owner to take further action to prevent unauthorised access.”

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Responsibility for the flat roof lies outside the letting agents’ responsibilities because it is controlled by the landlord and commercial tenant.

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    The existing tenants did not notify the agents multiple times; the tenancy began on the incident date, making such notifications impossible.

    Verbatim wording from the response

    “Our primary concern is the report’s assertion that we were notified multiple times by the café owner. I must clarify that this was not the case regarding the existing tenants. Additionally, the tenant’s contract start date was the same date as the incident, making notifications impossible.”
