Landlord compliance in Havering: the local picture
Portfolio administration in Havering often combines suburban houses in Upminster with flats near Romford station or new homes around Rainham. A single renewal list is useful only if it records the different ownership and management boundaries at each property. Peachtree Maintenance helps organise certificates, repair evidence and outstanding recommendations against individual addresses. Agents can receive monthly consolidated invoicing without losing that property-level detail, and should retain licensing correspondence separately from inspection reports so a completed maintenance job is not mistaken for licensing approval.
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.
