OUR SERVICES
HMO and Selective Licensing Applications
Getting your application completed correctly, supported by our expert knowledge will make the process of dealing with the Local Authority less stressful for you, and help you avoid unnecessary fines and delays.
HMO Management Regulations Compliance Inspections
Are you complying with, or even aware of, the current regulations regarding the management of houses with multiple occupancy and the duties imposed on managers and occupiers? We aim to ensure that you are fully compliant with all legislation.
HHSRS Assessments
Instruct us to carry out a HHSRS assessment on any of your properties. The Housing Health and Safety Rating System is a risk-based evaluation tool to help identify and protect against potential risks and hazards to health and safety from any deficiencies identified in dwellings.
Fire Risk Assessments
We can undertake a fire risk assessment (FRA) for you, which will identify any shortcomings and identify the required actions which the responsible person must then take into consideration.
Housing Case Reviews and Advice
We can review your housing situation and summarise for you in writing the current situation, provide possible scenarios or directions to bring your situation to a positive resolution, and give you an indication of how we might be able to assist you further.
Enforcement by a Local Authority
If you have been threatened with enforcement action, we can assist you through mediation with Local Authorities, or direct challenges where appropriate, with an aim of improving the outcome for you. Our experienced team can offer comprehensive and sensitive advice during this stressful period.
