In London’s dynamic property market, compliance is not just a legal requirement—it’s a critical component of responsible property management. From gas safety checks to licensing regulations, landlords face a multitude of compliance obligations. Neglecting these can lead to steep penalties, reputational damage, and tenant safety issues. This article explores the scope of property compliance services in London and how Fraser Bond ensures landlords remain fully compliant, protecting both their investments and their tenants.
Property compliance refers to the adherence to laws, regulations, and standards governing residential and commercial properties. In London, compliance is multi-layered, spanning national legislation, local council regulations, and evolving housing policies.
Landlord Licensing: Ensuring the correct type of licence is obtained (HMO, selective, or additional licensing).
Gas Safety Certificates (CP12): Mandatory annual checks on gas appliances by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
Electrical Safety Standards (EICR): Required every 5 years for rental properties.
Fire Safety Measures: Including smoke alarms, fire doors, and extinguishers where required.
Energy Performance Certificates (EPC): A legal requirement before renting or selling any property.
Health and Safety Risk Assessments: Especially in Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs).
Legionella Risk Assessments: An often overlooked but necessary safety check.
Each of these areas requires detailed documentation, periodic inspections, and in many cases, professional certification.
London’s borough-specific rules and the complexity of national regulations make it easy for landlords to unintentionally fall out of compliance. Consequences include:
Fines up to £30,000
Rent repayment orders
Legal proceedings
Inability to legally evict tenants
