HMO Services London

Yuno operates as a property compliance and licensing platform in the United Kingdom, having integrated the services and expertise previously offered by HMOServicesLondon. This consolidation aims to provide landlords, agents, and property professionals with a unified resource for their property licensing and compliance requirements. The firm's objective is to streamline the often complex process of navigating regulatory obligations within the property sector, offering enhanced support and smart technology solutions. Yuno's foundation is built upon the established expertise in House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) licensing that HMOServicesLondon provided, now augmented with a broader range of services and advanced tools to ensure regulatory adherence.

The company offers comprehensive support for both mandatory HMO and selective licensing applications. This service assists property owners and managers in determining when an HMO license is necessary, typically for properties rented to five or more individuals from multiple households who share facilities like kitchens or bathrooms. Yuno manages the entire application process, from initial compliance checks to the final submission. The firm also provides tools that enable clients to quickly assess their property's compliance status, aiming to reduce the time and effort traditionally associated with regulatory adherence.

This core offering represents a direct continuation and enhancement of the trusted HMO licensing expertise that was a key aspect of HMOServicesLondon. In addition to licensing applications, Yuno extends its support to other critical areas of property compliance. The company provides guidance on planning regulations, fire safety standards, and energy regulations, all of which are essential for maintaining legally compliant and safe rental properties. This comprehensive approach ensures that landlords and agents receive advice across the full spectrum of statutory obligations.

Yuno's team of property compliance experts is available to offer support, delivering clear and actionable solutions to help clients meet these diverse requirements. This expanded scope of support, encompassing certifications related to fire, energy, and general safety, is a direct benefit of the merger, providing a more holistic service offering. The company's services are designed to mitigate risks and optimize efficiency for property professionals. By offering integrated solutions and expert guidance, Yuno aims to prevent potential issues such as civil penalties, which can reach up to £30,000 for failing to possess a valid HMO license, or rent repayment orders that can extend for up to 24 months.

The platform also addresses the challenges associated with renting or selling properties that do not meet proper licensing standards. Yuno's commitment is to equip landlords and agents with the necessary resources and knowledge to ensure their properties remain compliant, thereby safeguarding their investments and operational continuity. The firm assures clients that all services previously relied upon from HMOServicesLondon are still available, now with added improvements. The company defines an HMO as any property rented to three or more unrelated tenants who share facilities such as bathrooms, kitchens, or communal areas.

This classification includes shared houses or flats, bedsits, student accommodation, and certain converted buildings. The requirement for an HMO license typically applies when a property houses five or more individuals from more than one household, who share facilities, and for whom the property serves as their main residence. It is also noted that some local councils may mandate licenses for smaller HMOs, making it important for property owners to verify specific local regulations. The company underscores the severe repercussions of non-compliance, which include substantial financial penalties and potential enforcement actions from local authorities.
