Maintenance and licensing support for HMO operators
HMOs carry more regulation, more wear and more scrutiny. We help you set up, license and maintain houses in multiple occupation, including supported accommodation, to the standard councils expect.
What usually gets in the way.
- 01
Licence conditions to meet
Councils set conditions on fire safety, amenities, room sizes and management. Falling short can mean penalties.
- 02
Higher wear and tear
Shared kitchens, bathrooms and common areas need more frequent attention than a single let.
- 03
Fire safety is critical
Detection, fire doors and escape routes must be maintained and tested, and you need records to prove it.

Frequently asked questions
01When does a property need an HMO licence?
In England, a mandatory licence is needed when five or more people forming more than one household share facilities. Many councils also run additional or selective licensing schemes, so check with your local council.
02Can you help with the licence application?
We help you prepare the certificates, plans and evidence an application usually needs. We are not a law firm, so for legal questions speak to a specialist adviser.
03Do you work with supported accommodation providers?
Yes. We understand the need for careful access arrangements, quick repairs and clear records in supported housing.
04How often should an HMO be inspected?
Licence conditions and good practice usually call for regular checks of common parts and fire safety. We can agree an inspection schedule that suits each property.
05Can you clean shared areas?
Yes. Regular cleaning of kitchens, bathrooms and common areas can be booked through our PTM Cleans app.
