Do I need an HMO licence for my Wandsworth House?

WYB544

I have a buy to let property in Wakehurst Road, SW11. I have let this house to single families since 2006 but have just accepted an offer from a group of five young-professionals who are unrelated and who would like to move in June 2019. They will be renting the house as a single, 5-bedroom property...

Going slightly off from the question , but have you sought the consent from the lender given that you are now operating it as an HMO remembering that not all lenders have this niche type of letting within their criteria, also your insurers will need to be advised of the change in Letting arrangements...

If I were you I would download the licence criteria and get on with any changes you need to implement now, (interlinked smoke detectors, fire doors etc)

The legislation defines household in terms of blood relationships. I think the most distant allowed connection is nephew/niece.

The idea it is trying to capture is whether the people would look after each others interests, particularly in an emergency, and also be likely to do things together,...

Thanks very much for your responses which I really appreciate. I suspected that I would need a licence but was confused one of the qualifying criteria on the WBC site 'At least three tenants live there, forming more than one household' - given that these 5 people are on one AST and are known to each...

Notice of rent increase

bananas

However, the tenants soon get used to that rent and forget that its lower than it could be and then one of them stops bothering and that causes rows and eventually they all stop, because ultimately...
