I have been ased to carry out a fire assessment on the above but its just three flats and they are joint freeholders. Do these poor blighters really fall under the Fire Safety Order as its domestic premises; quotes from the Act would be appreciated illustrating how.

Are the common areas frequented by such people as meter readers, trades persons, paper delivery people etc if so then it is likely the owners will inherit the landlords duties & liabilities even though they are not technically landlords. Irrespective they are the 'controllers' of the establishment
Additionally speak to their insurers re the common areas
The type of flats you are talking about either maintain the place themselves via 1: a company that they have created to undertake the work 2: and / or have a contract with maintenance companies with /for the common areas 3: and / or just DIY
Where 1 and 2 applies they are subject to company and other law
Where 3 applies they are subject to common law irrespective
in all cases best practice is to do what you can for common areas irrespective of particular law as should something happen somebody will pay - additionally the fire insurance details will want the common areas adequately managed
