05 / Licensing & compliance

Landlord licensing in Raynes Park, Merton.

Most rental properties in London fall under one or more licensing schemes administered by the local council. In Raynes Park, Merton this is London Borough of Merton, 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.

Before you let, it is worth confirming the current position directly with London Borough of Merton. Unlicensed lettings risk civil penalties and rent repayment orders.
