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