Does licensing in Kensington and Chelsea affect landlord compliance?

Kensington and Chelsea Council runs its own licensing arrangements on top of national mandatory HMO licensing. Our summary was last checked on 2026-10-20; always confirm the current position on the council website. Licence conditions commonly require current safety certificates to be available on request, which is why we keep every document digitally against the property.

Which certificates does a landlord need?

That depends on the property and location. Gas safety records, electrical installation reports and EPCs are common requirements, but alarms, fire precautions, water risks and licence conditions also need consideration. We review the circumstances rather than present a universal certificate bundle as proof of compliance.

Can you take over existing certificates and renewal dates?

Yes. Supply the complete documents, not just expiry dates or invoice references. We check the recorded address, inspection outcome and outstanding actions before adding dates to the schedule. Unclear or missing information may need confirmation from the original assessor or a fresh inspection.

Landlord compliance in Kensington and Chelsea: the local picture

A portfolio containing a Chelsea house, a Holland Park conversion and a North Kensington flat needs separate compliance records for each form of ownership and occupation. Peachtree Maintenance coordinates relevant inspections and maintenance using the landlord brief and existing documentation. Record any licence conditions, tenant access requirements and managing agent responsibilities with the correct address. In mansion blocks, building-level records may complement individual tenancy evidence but do not automatically replace it. At handover, identify outstanding communal approvals so the next agent understands which actions still require a freeholder decision.

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.

Kensington and Chelsea licensing

Kensington and Chelsea introduced borough-wide additional HMO licensing on 1 June 2023 for qualifying HMOs outside mandatory licensing. The council states that this includes homes occupied by three or more people from two or more households sharing facilities, including qualifying purpose-built shared flats excluded from the mandatory scheme.
