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