Complete HMO Licensing
Beyond Basic Compliance: Maximising Your HMO’s Potential
While obtaining an HMO Licence is the fundamental core of our business – a non-negotiable legal obligation for operating an HMO – we believe its value extends far beyond simple compliance. Merely securing a licence will not automatically increase your Return on Investment (ROI). We help you leverage the licensing process to strategically enhance your property’s value and profitability.
If you’re seeking to unlock greater potential from your HMO, we invite you to explore our related services, including our Conversion with Space Optimisation service, comprehensive Full Management service, and expert Investment Advice service.
Having said this, we are absolute professionals in every aspect of the licensing process itself. Should you instruct us, we will conduct a thorough personal assessment of your property, meticulously applying the same rigorous standards that local councils use for their evaluations.

Our Comprehensive Licensing Services
We offer a streamlined and effective approach to HMO licensing, ensuring your property is compliant and optimised.
Standard Licensing Package: What’s Included
Our core licensing services are all included in a £745 + VAT standard package price.
For landlords who choose to instruct us for full property management, this licensing fee will be credited back to you.
Here’s what our standard package covers:
Expert HMO Compliance Advice
Understanding and adhering to complex HMO regulations can be daunting. We meticulously check and measure all bedrooms, living rooms, communal spaces, kitchens, and bathrooms. We then provide expert advice on legal room sizes and the maximum number of tenants permissible for your specific HMO licence.
It’s crucial to understand that, for example, having six bedrooms does not automatically guarantee a licence for six tenants; the licence criteria are dependent on a number of interconnected factors.
A professional assessment before applying for the licence is therefore essential. You will receive a full and comprehensive Report highlighting all important factors and advising on any necessary modifications to achieve the desired number of tenants on your licence.
Integrated Fire Risk Assessment (FRA)
A Fire Risk Assessment is a legal obligation for all HMOs across the country. Our standard package includes this vital service, saving you the typical cost of £250 or more if you were to arrange it independently.
Tailored Fire Safety Recommendations
Based on our detailed Report and the Fire Risk Assessment, we will advise on all necessary fire safety works required to comply with the HMO licence. This includes guidance on fire doors with fittings, fire alarm systems with exact specifications, and any other required fireproofing. We can also provide highly competitive, no-obligation quotes for these works.
We take the burden off your shoulders by applying for the HMO licence on your behalf and providing comprehensive assistance throughout the process until your licence is successfully granted.
