Here’s How We Make Compliance Happen

HMO compliance and licensing can be complicated, and mistakes with local laws or missing paperwork can cause delays and issues for property owners.

We take the hassle out of the process. We handle compliance and licensing for HMOs, flat conversions, serviced accommodation, and family homes, ensuring your project meets all legal requirements and stays on track.

1. Understanding Compliance and Licensing: What’s the Difference?

Many people confuse compliance and licensing, but they’re two distinct processes—both vital for HMOs, flats, serviced accommodation, and homeowners.

● Compliance involves ensuring your property meets legal safety standards and local housing regulations, such as fire safety regulations for HMOs, electrical inspections, and adequate living space requirements.

● On the other hand, licensing is about securing the official documentation that permits you to legally operate an HMO or multi-family property.

Getting planning approval is a great first step. But it doesn’t mean you’ll get the right license for your property. Your property needs to meet all the criteria and figuring that out can be a headache.

That’s where we come in. HMO Architects makes compliance and licensing simple, getting your property ready and approved without the stress.
