What the London Licensing Scheme Requires for HMO Properties

London councils require every self-contained unit in a licensed HMO or converted property to have a valid EPC certificate. This includes:

  • Selective licensing — boroughs including Newham, Waltham Forest, Hackney, Tower Hamlets and Southwark require a valid EPC as part of the licensing application
  • HMO mandatory licensing — properties with 5 or more occupants in 2 or more households require an EPC for each unit
  • Article 4 direction areas — many London boroughs require EPC certificates before a property can be let

Without a valid EPC for each unit, your licensing application will be rejected or delayed.

When you book multiple EPC certificates together on the same property, you benefit from our bulk rate:

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a separate EPC for each studio flat in a converted house?

Yes. Each self-contained unit requires its own EPC certificate. A single EPC for the whole building is not sufficient for licensing purposes. Our bulk service covers all units in one visit.

How long does a bulk EPC assessment take?

A typical studio conversion with 3–6 units takes 2–3 hours for a full assessment. We aim to complete all units in a single visit to minimise disruption to tenants.

How long is an EPC certificate valid for?

An EPC certificate is valid for 10 years from the date of issue. If your property has a valid certificate less than 10 years old, you may not need a new one — call us and we will check the register for you.

What EPC rating do I need for licensing?

Most London selective licensing schemes require a minimum EPC rating of E. Some councils are moving towards requiring a D rating. We will advise you on the requirements for your specific borough.

Can you provide floor plans as well as EPCs?

Yes — we offer EPC + Floor Plan bundles at a discounted rate. Many licensing applications require both. Call 020 3488 4142 for a combined quote.
