Property Licensing & Certificates
Helping Landlords Stay on Top of Property Compliance
Keeping up with property licences, safety checks and essential certificates is an important part of being a landlord. Missing a requirement or allowing a certificate to expire can lead to compliance issues, delays and potential penalties.
At Prop80 Limited, we help landlords identify relevant property licensing and certificate requirements and arrange the necessary services through appropriate professionals. Whether you’re preparing a property for rent or managing an existing tenancy, we help make the process more straightforward.
From Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) and gas safety checks to electrical inspections and property licences, we’re here to support you with your property compliance responsibilities.
Property Licensing
Depending on its location, property type and occupancy arrangements, your rental property may require a licence from the local council. Requirements can include mandatory HMO licensing, additional HMO licensing or selective licensing in designated areas.
We help landlords understand which licensing requirements may apply and arrange support with the relevant application process and documentation.
Our service can help you:
Identify potentially applicable property licensing requirements.
Understand local council licensing schemes.
Arrange assistance with licence applications and renewals.
Keep track of relevant documentation and requirements.
Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs)
An Energy Performance Certificate provides information about a property’s energy efficiency and includes recommendations for improving its energy performance.
An EPC is generally required when a property is marketed for rent, unless an exemption applies.
We help landlords arrange EPC assessments and obtain the relevant documentation, making it easier to keep property records organised and understand the property’s energy rating.
Gas Safety Certificates
Where applicable, landlords must ensure gas appliances and flues provided in rental accommodation are checked annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
We help landlords arrange gas safety checks and organise the relevant records, supporting a more consistent approach to property safety responsibilities.
Our support includes coordinating appointments with appropriate professionals and helping landlords monitor upcoming checks.
Electrical Safety Inspections (EICR)
Electrical safety inspections help assess the condition of a property’s fixed electrical installations. In England, landlords are generally required to arrange an inspection at least every five years, or sooner where the report specifies.
We help landlords arrange inspections with qualified professionals and organise the resulting Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR).
If the report identifies issues requiring remedial work, we can help you understand the next steps and coordinate relevant support.
Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Alarms
Landlords must comply with applicable smoke and carbon monoxide alarm requirements in their rental properties.
We help landlords understand the relevant requirements and arrange support with the installation or checking of appropriate alarms where needed.
This helps landlords address an important aspect of rental property safety and keep relevant records organised.
