We’ve upgraded numerous houses and flats for HMO occupancy, ensuring compliance with all necessary regulations. Not all HMOs need to be licensed, but even non-licensable properties often require upgrades to meet safety and regulatory standards. We can assist with all required upgrades, including:
- Mains-connected, battery-backup interconnected fire alarm systems
- 30-minute fire door installation or upgrades
- Twist and turn locks
- Electrical checks and upgrades
- Gas safety checks
- Fire risk assessments
We have extensive experience liaising with councils to obtain HMO licenses. From completing paperwork and meeting council officers to negotiating necessary works, we make the process smooth and stress-free. Additionally, we manage and act as license holders for numerous HMO properties—if this is of interest, let us know!
Useful Information:
- What qualifies as a HMO? If you let your property to three or more tenants who aren’t from the same family and share bathroom or kitchen facilities, your property is a HMO.
- When is a license required? A license is needed if your property is let to five or more people and has three or more stories. Some councils may have additional licensing requirements, so it’s important to check with your local council.
