Landlord compliance
Keep your London lets compliant, with evidence on file
Landlord obligations in England are extensive and change over time, and local licensing schemes vary by borough. Missing a check or a document can affect your ability to regain possession and expose you to penalties. We track the requirements for each let and keep the evidence organised.
- Safety checks scheduled and tracked
- Deposit and documents in order
- Borough licensing checked

- 03
A clear plan, no obligation
You get our view and the next steps in plain terms. Whether to go ahead is entirely your decision.
What are a London landlord’s main obligations?
They include safety checks, deposit protection, serving required documents and, in some boroughs, licensing. The rules change, so we keep the list current and recommend legal advice on specific situations.
Does Belgrave give legal advice?
No. We manage compliance tasks and records. For legal questions, such as possession or disputes, we recommend a specialist solicitor.
How do I know if my property needs a licence?
Licensing depends on the borough and property type. We check the local scheme for your property.
Can you review properties I manage myself?
Yes. A compliance review can be a one-off, or ongoing as part of management.
What happens if something is missing?
We list it, explain why it matters and arrange to put it right where we can. Some issues need legal advice, which we will tell you.
Is compliance included in full management?
Tracking compliance is part of full management. The scope and fees are set out in writing at appraisal.
Still deciding? Ask a senior adviser directly.
