06 / Licensing & compliance

Licensing a rental property in Holland Park, Kensington and Chelsea.

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