Fire safety in residential property is no longer a background concern—it’s under the spotlight. With growing scrutiny on landlords, developers, and housing providers to meet evolving obligations, getting it wrong is no longer an option. That’s why we’re proud to share that Yuno’s founder, Paul Conway, will be speaking at UKREiiF 2025, joining a panel of industry leaders to discuss what better fire safety looks like across the UK’s property landscape.
Taking place in Leeds from 20–22 May, UKREiiF brings together the public sector, investors, and real estate professionals to shape the future of the built environment. Paul will be contributing his perspective on how better compliance isn’t just possible—it’s essential.
Meet Paul Conway: Compliance with Purpose
Paul Conway is one of the UK’s leading experts on property licensing and compliance. With over a decade of experience working with local authorities, housing associations, and private landlords, Paul knows first-hand the real-world challenges that stand in the way of safe, legal homes. As founder of Yuno, he helps turn complex regulations into clear, manageable actions for property professionals of all shapes and sizes.
The Fire Safety Gap: What We’re Still Getting Wrong
While regulation has advanced in recent years, fire safety remains one of the most misunderstood—and inconsistently applied—aspects of property compliance. In our work at Yuno, we regularly encounter fire risk assessments that use out-of-date or incorrect guidance, landlords are unsure of their responsibilities in blocks of flats, and property owners are unaware of new legal requirements under the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 and how things like licensing feed into this.
Even where managing agents are involved, responsibility can’t be delegated away. The onus is on landlords, freeholders, leaseholders and company directors, Responsible Persons, to ensure the right measures are in place, and more importantly, that they’re maintained.
What Paul Will Be Covering at UKREiiF
Paul’s panel at UKREiiF will explore some of the most pressing fire safety challenges in today’s housing market, including:
- How to move from reactive fixes to proactive risk management
- The importance of data and digital tools in driving accountability
- Navigating grey areas in responsibility, especially in HMOs and converted properties
- What local authorities are focusing on when it comes to enforcement
Whether you’re a local council officer, portfolio landlord, freeholder or property management professional, this session is about making fire safety more practical—and more effective.
