HMO Property Licensing

HMO Property Licensing specialises in providing comprehensive support for Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) in the UK. The firm offers a range of services designed to assist landlords and property managers with the complexities of HMO compliance, application, and ongoing management. The company's expertise is specifically focused on navigating the regulatory landscape surrounding HMO properties, ensuring that clients meet legal requirements. This includes guidance on various types of HMOs, from smaller shared accommodations to larger multi-tenant properties.

The company's compliance solutions begin with a thorough survey conducted by its experts. This initial assessment helps to identify specific areas where a property may need adjustments to align with local council HMO regulations. Following the survey, HMO Property Licensing provides guidance on the necessary steps to achieve compliance. The firm also facilitates the required remedial works by arranging for qualified tradesmen to carry out the improvements.

This end-to-end approach aims to streamline the process of making a property compliant with all relevant standards. Beyond compliance, HMO Property Licensing offers an online service for managing the entire HMO licence application process. Clients can submit their property and personal details through a dedicated online platform, and the company then handles the submission and liaison with the local council. Once a property has successfully obtained its HMO licence, the firm extends its services to include full property management.

This management offering encompasses essential tasks such as tenant acquisition and addressing maintenance issues, thereby aiming to alleviate the operational burden on property owners. HMO Property Licensing operates with a clear understanding of what constitutes a House in Multiple Occupation under UK regulations. A small HMO is defined as a property where at least three tenants, forming more than one household, share toilet, bathroom, or kitchen facilities. For larger properties, a large HMO is identified when at least five tenants, also forming more than one household, share these same facilities.

The definition of a household, as understood by the company, includes either a single person or members of the same family living together, such as married or cohabiting couples, relatives, half-relatives, step-parents, and step-children. HMO Property Licensing is committed to delivering personalised and professional property services that are specifically tailored to the individual requirements of its clients. The firm's core expertise lies in facilitating HMO applications, aiming to simplify what can often be a complex and time-consuming process for property owners. By focusing on these specialised services, the company strives to ensure that landlords and agents can navigate the regulatory environment with confidence.

The company's operations are based in Northolt, with contact available via phone and email during business hours from Monday to Thursday.
