05 / Licensing & compliance

Landlord licensing in Eltham, Greenwich.

Most rental properties in London fall under one or more licensing schemes administered by the local council. In Eltham, Greenwich this is Royal Borough of Greenwich, 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 Eltham, Greenwich needs the same licence. Before you let, it is worth confirming the current position directly with Royal Borough of Greenwich. 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 Royal Borough of Greenwich, apply on your behalf where needed, and make sure the property is compliant before a tenant moves in.
