What landlords in Wellington ask us

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.

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.

Who issues HMO licences in Wellington?

Telford & Wrekin Council is the licensing authority for Wellington. We prepare the application and supporting documents, and the council decides whether to grant the licence and on what conditions.

Do I need a licence for a three or four person HMO in Wellington?

Not under a council scheme we could find when we checked. Mandatory licensing starts at five people, and councils can add schemes, so we confirm with Telford & Wrekin Council before you let.
