05 / Licensing & compliance

Landlord licensing in Barbican, City of London.

Most rental properties in London fall under one or more licensing schemes administered by the local council. In Barbican, City of London this is City of London Corporation, 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 Barbican, City of London needs the same licence. Before you let, it is worth confirming the current position directly with City of London Corporation. Unlicensed lettings risk civil penalties and rent repayment orders.

When landlords work with British Housing, we handle the licensing step as part of onboarding. We check the address against the current schemes operated by City of London Corporation, apply on your behalf where needed, and make sure the property is compliant before a tenant moves in.
