Fraser Bond provides professional HMO safety certification services across London and the UK, helping landlords protect tenants, maintain compliance, and safeguard property investments.

Why HMO Safety Certification Matters

Safety certification is essential to:

• Protect tenants from fire, gas leaks, and electrical hazards

• Ensure compliance with mandatory, additional, or selective HMO licensing

• Avoid fines, enforcement action, or licence revocation

• Maintain insurance coverage and property value

All HMOs must hold valid safety certificates as part of legal occupancy requirements.
