HMO Licensing, Compliance & Property Management

Need Help With Your HMO Licence or Property Management?

Practical help with HMO licensing, compliance administration and property management, from an independent letting agency.

A home is generally an HMO if three or more tenants from more than one household share facilities. Licensing rules vary by area.

In England, large HMOs with five or more tenants from more than one household must be licensed.

Councils can license smaller HMOs in some or all of their area. Check the property's address with the council.

Some councils license other privately rented homes in chosen areas. This is separate from HMO licensing.

The same rules do not apply everywhere, so we look at each property individually.

Mandatory licensing applies to large HMOs. Councils may add additional or selective schemes, so check locally.

Mandatory licensing covers HMOs of three or more storeys with five or more people. Rent Smart Wales also applies.

A licence is not planning permission. Check lawful use and any local Article 4 direction before you buy or convert.

We do not provide legal advice, fire risk assessments or electrical certification, and we cannot guarantee a licence.

Understanding requirements, help with applications and renewals, preparing documents, and liaison where authorised.

Coordinating inspections and documents, preparing for council inspections, and supporting ongoing licence conditions.

Tenancy administration, rent collection, inspections, maintenance coordination, compliance tracking and landlord communication.
