HMO licensing in Hammersmith and Fulham: the local picture

House shares near Hammersmith's stations and the streets around Shepherd's Bush need accurate occupancy information before licensing paperwork is assembled. National mandatory licensing generally applies to five or more people from two or more households sharing facilities, subject to exemptions. Confirm any further local requirements with the council. Peachtree Maintenance can help organise maintenance evidence, inspection records and remedial work for an application, but a tidy document pack does not establish planning consent or guarantee that a Fulham conversion will receive a licence.

What the rules say

In England a mandatory licence is needed where five or more people from two or more households share facilities such as a kitchen or bathroom. Councils can also run additional licensing for smaller HMOs and selective licensing for other private lets.

Applications usually need current gas, electrical and fire safety documents, floor plans and management details. Licences commonly run for up to five years and carry conditions. We help gather the evidence and keep it current. We are not a law firm.

02

Does licensing in Hammersmith and Fulham affect hmo licensing?

National mandatory HMO licensing applies in Hammersmith and Fulham as everywhere in England. Councils can add further schemes, so check the current position with Hammersmith and Fulham Council before letting. Licence conditions commonly require current safety certificates to be available on request, which is why we keep every document digitally against the property.

03

Does a four-person HMO need a licence?

It may do under a council's additional licensing scheme, even though it falls below the usual mandatory five-person threshold. Check the property's address, occupancy and scheme rules with the council. The absence of mandatory licensing does not remove other housing management responsibilities.

04

What documents do I need for an HMO licence?

Start with the council's current checklist. Common items include floor plans, room measurements, management details and relevant safety records. Requirements vary, and some documents depend on the property's installations. We help identify gaps rather than promising one universal document pack will suit every application.
