HMO Compliance Certificates in London
Arrange the certificates and inspections your HMO property, licence file, managing agent or insurer has requested. We help landlords and property professionals work out the right combination of gas, electrical, fire, alarm, PAT and EPC services before an appointment is confirmed.
What does your HMO need before the next deadline?
An HMO may need several separate records rather than one package. A licence renewal, new letting, tenant handover, insurer request, council visit or internal management review can each ask for different evidence. The useful first step is to identify the property address, number of occupants or rooms, access arrangements and the exact wording of the request.
We can then help you select the relevant service pages below. If several checks are due at the same time, mention them in the first enquiry so the appointment can be planned around one property visit where the services and access arrangements allow.
- HMO address and postcode
- Licence, renewal or handover deadline
- Who holds keys and can provide access
- Certificates or checks requested
HMO certificates and inspections commonly requested
Use the description that best matches the request. Each service has its own scope, access requirements and report wording, so a combined booking should still list every certificate needed.

HMO compliance certificate FAQs
Is there one certificate that covers an HMO?
No. The required evidence depends on the building, its systems, the licence conditions and the request from the council, insurer, landlord or managing agent. An HMO may need several separate inspections or reports.
Can I book several HMO checks together?
Yes, you can send a combined enquiry. List every certificate needed, the property postcode, who controls access and the dates that matter. The appointment route will be reviewed before confirmation.
What should an agent send when booking for a landlord?
Send the full address, landlord or management contact, tenant or key-holder details, access restrictions, requested certificate wording and any licence, renewal, insurance or handover deadline.
Do HMO rooms and communal areas need the same checks?
Not always. Fixed systems, shared areas, bedrooms, kitchens, plant rooms and escape routes can have different access and inspection requirements. Explain the layout and which areas are included in the request.
Can you tell me which HMO certificate I need?
We can help clarify the service route from the wording you have received and the property details. Send the request, previous report or licence note rather than relying on a certificate name alone.
How quickly can an HMO appointment be confirmed?
