Gas, electrical and alarm certificates in Tamworth: common questions

What documents does Tamworth Borough 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 Tamworth Borough Council's current list for your application.

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.

How long does an HMO licence last?

A licence can last up to five years. Tamworth Borough Council may grant a shorter licence, for example where it has concerns about the property or the management.
