Who We Help
Most landlords and builders only discover what the local authority requires after they've already submitted — leading to costly delays, failed inspections, and drawn-out appeals.
Our principal spent years as a housing standards officer for a local authority, assessing HMO licence applications, conducting property inspections, and making the very decisions that landlords now struggle to navigate.
That insider knowledge means we know exactly what officers look for, what language to use in applications, and how to get your property fully compliant before it ever reaches the council's desk.
Choose the level of support you need — from a professional audit right through to a fully managed compliance service.
Here's exactly what happens when you work with us.
Everything you need to know before getting started.
An HMO (House in Multiple Occupation) licence is required if your property is rented to 5 or more people from 2 or more separate households. Some local authorities also require licences for smaller HMOs. If you're unsure whether your property needs one, we can advise you immediately.
We cover the wider Northwest region including Wirral, Merseyside, Cheshire, and surrounding areas. If you're unsure whether we cover your location, just get in touch and we'll confirm straight away.
Timescales vary depending on the local authority and the condition of the property. Once works are complete and the application is submitted, most licences are granted within 8–12 weeks. We manage the process throughout to avoid unnecessary delays.
Absolutely. We work alongside your chosen contractor, providing clear guidance on what works are needed and overseeing progress to ensure everything meets the required standards before inspection.
Yes — this is included in our Full Compliance Project Coordinator package. We source a qualified fire risk assessor, schedule the assessment, and ensure any recommendations are actioned before the licence application is submitted.
We handle all council correspondence on your behalf. Because we understand how local authority housing teams operate — having worked within one — we're well placed to respond quickly and accurately to any queries that arise.
We cover the Northwest region. Whether you have a property ready to apply or a project just getting started — we're happy to have an initial conversation with no obligation.
