About HMO Licensing London

We are London's dedicated HMO licence application specialists. Founded to solve a genuine problem — the complexity of navigating London's fragmented HMO licensing landscape — we have helped hundreds of landlords obtain their licences without any of the bureaucratic headaches.

Why We Exist

London's HMO licensing landscape is genuinely complex. With 33 boroughs operating their own additional licensing schemes, each with different boundaries, fees, and requirements — all on top of mandatory national licensing — the burden on landlords is substantial.

We founded HMO Licensing London to remove that burden entirely. Our approach is simple: you tell us about your property, and we handle every aspect of the application process from start to finish. No council calls. No paperwork mountains. Just your licence.

Today, we have successfully obtained over 500 HMO licences across all 33 London boroughs, building the most comprehensive borough-by-borough knowledge base in the market.

Our Values

Expert Knowledge

Deep, borough-by-borough understanding of London's HMO licensing requirements, updated as schemes change.

Absolute Transparency

Fixed fees, clear cost breakdowns, honest timelines. No surprises, no hidden charges.

Client First

You get a dedicated point of contact. We handle the council so you never have to.

Compliance Focused

We don't just submit applications — we ensure your property meets the standards required for approval.

Our Expertise

Our team combines deep knowledge of housing legislation, local authority procedures, and property standards. We stay current with every change to London's licensing landscape — new schemes, boundary changes, fee updates, and regulatory amendments.

We understand the specific requirements of every London borough: which rooms need what amenities, what fire safety measures are required, how councils assess 'fit and proper person' requirements, and how to present applications for smooth approval.
