⚙️ Risk Assessment Methodology
Risks shown represent documented worst-case scenarios based on actual UK court cases (2015-2025), insurance policy terms, and government legislation. "Typical" figures show realistic exposure from compliance failures. "Max" figures show highest documented penalties. Your actual risk depends on circumstances. These figures show what CAN happen, not what WILL happen to every landlord.
