Median advertised rent across everything we track on the market here, whether through an agent or direct from the landlord. n/a means too few of that size to publish. New build counts the schemes let in bulk by a single operator, and the flats priced with them. It is a separate market from the rest of the street, and averaging the two together flatters neither. LHA is the Local Housing Allowance, the ceiling on housing benefit, averaged across the 2 allowance areas Hammersmith and Fulham covers, May 2026.

06 / Licensing & compliance

Licensing a rental property in Hammersmith and Fulham.

Most rental properties in London fall under one or more licensing schemes administered by the local council. In Hammersmith and Fulham this is London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, which, in common with other London boroughs, may run a combination of property licensing schemes, including selective licensing covering specific streets or wards as well as wider schemes that can apply to shared and rented homes more generally.

Scheme boundaries, fees, and application requirements change over time, and not every property in Hammersmith and Fulham needs the same licence. Before you let, it is worth confirming the current position directly with London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. 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 London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, apply on your behalf where needed, and make sure the property is compliant before a tenant moves in.
