A complete guide to HMO compliance checks, highlighting legal obligations, safety standards, and how Fraser Bond supports landlords in managing safe and profitable HMO properties.
HMO compliance checks are essential for landlords to ensure their properties meet legal requirements and safety standards. Regular compliance inspections reduce risk, maintain tenant safety, and ensure adherence to licensing regulations.
Fraser Bond provides professional HMO compliance checks across London and the UK, helping landlords maintain safe, licenced, and high-performing rental properties.
Regular compliance checks ensure:
Adherence to mandatory, additional, or selective HMO licensing
Tenant safety through fire, gas, and electrical inspections
Avoidance of legal enforcement action and fines
Protection of property value and investment returns
Compliance checks are particularly important in multi-storey and multi-occupancy properties where safety risks are higher.
Professional HMO compliance checks typically include:
Fire Safety – Fire alarms, emergency lighting, fire doors, escape routes, and risk assessments
Gas and Electrical Safety – Annual gas safety certificates, electrical inspections, and PAT testing
Licensing Compliance – Ensuring all relevant HMO licences are valid and up to date
Room Sizes and Amenities – Confirming rooms meet minimum standards and adequate communal facilities exist
Health and Safety – Ventilation, insulation, plumbing, and structural checks
Fraser Bond ensures that all compliance checks are thorough, actionable, and aligned with current UK HMO legislation.
