Landlord compliance in Sutton: the local picture
Portfolios spanning Worcester Park houses, Beddington flats and central Sutton apartments need records that follow each address through inspections and repairs. Peachtree Maintenance provides one point of contact for coordinating maintenance and compliance work, with photo evidence on every job. Digital certificates can be retained with the relevant property file, while unresolved recommendations remain separate from completed tasks. Monthly consolidated invoicing for agents supports reconciliation across the portfolio. Before scheduling work, identify which equipment belongs to the landlord and which common parts remain under the freeholder or managing agent.
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.
Sutton licensing
Sutton operates borough-wide additional HMO licensing for HMOs below the mandatory five-person threshold, subject to exemptions. Mandatory licensing continues to apply to qualifying larger shared properties.
