Landlord compliance in Brent: the local picture
A Brent portfolio may combine a Preston family house, a Willesden conversion and a Wembley Park apartment with extensive managed common parts. Keep the licensing check, certificate scope and access arrangements distinct for each property. Peachtree Maintenance can coordinate agreed work through one point of contact, with photo evidence on every job and digital records attached to the relevant address. Monthly consolidated invoicing for agents helps review expenditure without implying that one flat's inspection covers its neighbours or the shared building systems.
What the rules say
Most lets need a gas safety record every 12 months where there is gas, an EICR at least every five years, a valid EPC rated E or above, and working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. HMOs and licensed properties usually carry further requirements.
Managed compliance means one calendar for every certificate, renewals booked before they lapse and documents stored digitally per property, so you can show what was done and when.
Brent licensing
Brent's selective licensing scheme covers rented homes let to a single person, two people or a single household throughout the borough except Wembley Park ward, subject to exemptions. A borough-wide additional HMO licensing scheme began on 2 February 2026 for homes occupied by three or four people forming two or more households and qualifying Section 257 HMOs outside mandatory licensing.
