Frequently asked questions about HMO licensing in Richmond upon Thames
- What are the HMO licence requirements in Richmond upon Thames?

You must meet management, fire safety, amenity, and room-size conditions as part of the application. Use our HMO licence checker for a first pass, then confirm with the council before letting or purchasing.
- Does Richmond upon Thames have additional or selective licensing?
- Richmond upon Thames is listed as operating mandatory HMO licensing only. Additional or selective schemes can be introduced later; the council must consult before designating new areas. Check the official HMO licensing section on the council website for any announcements.
- Where can I search licensed HMOs in Richmond upon Thames?
- Use the searchable register on this page to filter by address, postcode, or licence reference where published. The map below the table plots geocoded properties so you can explore by area. Data is imported from the council's public register and refreshed periodically — see the key figures table for how current the extract is. For legal confirmation on a specific property, cross-check the council's official register link above the table.
- How do I apply for an HMO licence in Richmond upon Thames?
- Applications are made directly to Richmond upon Thames, not through AgentHMO. You will usually need property details, floor plans, fire-risk information, and details of the licence holder or manager.

Allow several weeks to months for processing, especially for new licences or properties that need works to meet conditions.
