Who owns and is responsible for the fire door?

Your lease should make clear who owns the fire door to your property. This will be if it forms part of your demised premises – the property you own. 

Usually it will be you who has ownership of the entrance door to your flat and be responsible for its maintenance and repair.  

However, where the freeholder retains ownership and responsibility for the door, then you and the other leaseholders may have to pay the cost of any repairs through the service charge.
