We help landlords navigate the growing maze of regulations, licensing and compliance requirements with expert guidance every step of the way. For a simple one-off £500 fee, we’ll help you prepare, apply and meet council standards with confidence. Whether you're applying for the first time, updating an existing licence, or unsure of where your property stands - we’re here to help. We’ve been through it ourselves as property owners, managers and compliance professionals, and we know exactly what it takes to avoid delays, sidestep costly mistakes and protect your rental income long-term.

FAQ

  • We help landlords stay compliant and maximise their rental income. Our compliance package includes:

    • Determining if your property requires a licence

    • Understanding the exact requirements in your local council

    • Preparing your layout to meet minimum room sizes & amenity standards

    • Ensuring you meet fire safety regulations (e.g. smoke alarms, fire doors)

    • Helping you gather and prepare required documents:

      • Floor plans

      • EPC

      • Gas safety certificate

      • EICR

      • Fire alarm servicing report

    • Liaising with your council (where appropriate)

    • Referring reliable contractors if works are needed

    • Landlords converting a property into an HMO

    • Owners of existing HMOs applying for the first time or renewing their HMO applications

    • Rent-to-rent operators managing HMO properties

    • Landlords unsure if they meet local HMO standards

  • If your property is rented to 3 or more people from 2 or more households who share facilities like a kitchen or bathroom, it’s classed as a HMO and many local councils require a licence.

    Some HMOs also fall under additional or selective licensing, depending on your area. If you’re unsure, we can help you check what applies and avoid fines.

  • We’re HMO operators ourselves, so we know what councils look for and how easy it is to get caught out. Our goal is to help you avoid costly delays or fines and get your licence approved quickly, with as little stress as possible.

  • We do both. We offer:

    • Advice-only support: helping you understand what’s needed

    • Full licence support: reviewing your documents, checking the layout, liaising with your council and helping you submit your application

    Our £500 service covers everything you need to feel confident, including a final compliance check before submission.

  • Don’t worry, most HMOs need some level of improvement before they’re fully compliant. We’ll highlight exactly what needs to change (e.g. room layout, fire safety, amenities) and if needed, we can connect you with trusted contractors or help you redesign the space.

    Our goal is to help you pass first time and protect your rental income in the process.

  • If you decide to go ahead with one of our other core services, such as our interior design/staging or our guaranteed rent management model - we’ll look at offsetting or absorbing the £500 HMO advice fee into your wider service package.

    We believe in fair, transparent pricing and long-term relationships. Just mention it during your follow-up conversation and we’ll apply it accordingly.
