Everything you need to know about HMO licences in London.
A House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) is a property rented to 3 or more people who form more than one household and share facilities such as a bathroom or kitchen. Common examples include bedsits, shared houses, and houses converted into flats.
You will need a mandatory HMO licence if your property is rented to 5 or more people from 2 or more households. Many London boroughs also require an additional HMO licence for smaller properties with 3 or more tenants. We can advise exactly which licence applies to your property.
A mandatory HMO licence is required by national law for any property with 5+ occupants from 2+ households. An additional HMO licence is borough-specific and may be required for smaller HMOs — typically those with 3+ tenants. Both apply across London.
Our service fee is £300+VAT for an Additional HMO Licence and £500+VAT for a Mandatory HMO Licence. Note that council application fees are separate and vary by borough — we will provide a full cost breakdown before you proceed.
Council processing times vary between 8-16 weeks depending on the borough. We submit your complete, fully-compliant application within days of receiving your information, minimising unnecessary delays at your end.
