Landlords in Newry (BT34 and BT35) usually come to us with a council letter, a fire risk assessment or a house they have just bought. We price from whichever you have.

- Doors on protected routes are typically FD30 or FD30S, self-closing on three hinges; emergency lighting is required in HMOs of 4 or more storeys.
- Licences usually last 5 years, and landlords must also register with the NI landlord registration scheme.
- HMO licence conditions require a satisfactory EICR at least every 5 years.
