Landlord compliance in Hillingdon: the local picture
Hillingdon agents may manage family houses in Ickenham, shared accommodation in Uxbridge and apartments in Hayes within one portfolio. A useful compliance record distinguishes each installation, the tenancy's extent, any applicable licence conditions and work controlled by a managing agent. Peachtree Maintenance can coordinate instructions through one point of contact and retain digital certificates alongside photo evidence on every job. Monthly consolidated invoicing for agents supports administration without removing the address-level detail needed to track unresolved defects and demonstrate what work was actually completed.
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.
Hillingdon licensing
Hillingdon operates a borough-wide additional HMO licensing scheme for HMOs not already covered by mandatory licensing, including shared homes with three or more people forming two or more households. The council's application guidance states that applications opened on 20 May 2026 and were required by 23 August 2026.
