Licence condition works are the jobs a council asks for before or after granting an HMO licence: things like extra detection, fire doors, a second bathroom, kitchen changes or repairs. Richmond is 8 miles south-west of London. We price licence condition and schedule-of-works there against England’s HMO rules and the council’s written HMO standards, so work is planned to the standard an inspection looks for.

- Under the Renters’ Rights Act, civil penalties reach £40,000 for offences such as running an unlicensed HMO.
