05 / Licensing & compliance

Landlord licensing in Balham, Wandsworth.

Most rental properties in London fall under one or more licensing schemes administered by the local council. In Balham, Wandsworth this is London Borough of Wandsworth, which, in common with other London boroughs, may run a combination of mandatory HMO licensing (for larger shared houses), additional HMO licensing (for smaller shared properties outside the mandatory criteria), and selective licensing covering specific streets or wards.

Scheme boundaries, fees, and application requirements change over time, and not every property in Balham, Wandsworth needs the same licence. Before you let, it is worth confirming the current position directly with London Borough of Wandsworth. Unlicensed lettings risk civil penalties and rent repayment orders.
