Not my area of expertise, so I thought I'd ask for help. Can someone please give me an overbiew of when a premises is required to have an access audit? And do these fall under the new Equality Act, as I believe this repeals the whole of DDA?
The scenario is as follows:
Company A rents an eight storey office building from a landlord. Company A intends to sub-let the four floors to four separate companies. All of the prospective tenants are "professional services" firms, whose visitors will include existing and prospective clients. None of the prospective tenants have any impaired employees at present.
Is an access audit required for the whole building? Does each floor require a separate audit specific to its occupants? And who is responsible for carrying out the audit? It is also nigh on impossible to contact the landlord for the building.

Can I suggest you contact a Stephen Crowther of RPP Management on 01274 761750 and mention my name. He is a Chartered Building Surveyor and does many of these - he will advise of any needs and negotiate with Landlord also if you wish
