HMO compliance audits in Louth: what we do

Councils across Lincolnshire set their own HMO standards on top of the national rules. Our audits of houses in Louth check against both, and we can quote for any work the report identifies once you have read it.

What landlords in Louth ask us

Do HMOs in Louth need a fire risk assessment?

Fire safety law requires a fire risk assessment of the common parts of most HMOs, and councils commonly ask to see one with a licence application. We arrange the assessment and the works it recommends.

Can you fix the issues a council inspection found?

Yes. We price the works on the inspection report, carry them out and provide the evidence the council asks for.

How often are electrical checks needed in an HMO?

Private tenancies in England need an electrical installation condition report before the tenancy starts and at least every five years, and gas appliances need a safety check by a Gas Safe registered engineer every 12 months.

What documents does East Lindsey District Council ask for with an HMO licence?

Councils usually ask for floor plans showing room sizes and fire safety features, gas and electrical safety certificates, and fire alarm and emergency lighting certificates. We check East Lindsey District Council's current list for your application.
