Buying with confidence
Paying a firm you’ve not used before? Here’s why your money is safe.
You only pay when you’re sure
Checking your council and getting a quote is free, with no payment to enquire. If you don’t actually need a licence, we tell you — we’d rather say so than take your money.
Full refund if we haven’t started
If we haven’t begun preparing your application, your service fee comes back in full. No quibble.
No markup on the council’s fee
The council’s own fee is paid by you directly to the council. We never add to it or take a cut of it.
A named Chartered Accountant
Your application is prepared and filed by Patrick Roper, an ICAEW Chartered Accountant (member no. 4291074, confirmable with ICAEW) — not an anonymous form-filling service.
Secure card payment
Card payment runs through Stripe, the checkout used by millions of businesses. “GETHMOLICENCE” shows on your statement, so you’ll always recognise the charge.
Honest about the outcome
We’re not a law firm and we never promise a licence — that decision is the council’s. What we guarantee is a complete, correct application.
30-second check
Do you need an HMO licence?
Answer two questions for an instant, honest read — then we’ll point you to your council.
A quick guide, not a formal determination — your council makes the final decision.
Why it matters
The cost of getting it wrong
Operating an unlicensed HMO risks a civil penalty of up to £40,000 per offence, plus a Rent Repayment Order of up to 24 months’ rent under the Renters' Rights Act 2025. Rules, fees and schemes differ in every council — we keep track so you don’t have to.

The council decides
Their questions come to us first and we deal with them. Inspections are arranged around your tenants. You sign; we make sure what you sign is right.
If we make an error that gets your application rejected as incomplete, we fix it free. We can never guarantee a licence. That decision is the council’s.
Common questions
Questions landlords ask
Do I definitely need a licence?
If 5 or more people from 2 or more households share a kitchen, bathroom or toilet, yes — a mandatory HMO licence is required anywhere in England. With 3–4 sharers it depends on whether your council runs an Additional Licensing scheme. Checking your council tells you in seconds, with no obligation.
Do you guarantee I’ll get the licence?
No one honestly can — the decision is the council’s. What we guarantee is a complete, correct application: if we make an error that gets it rejected as incomplete, we fix it free. Refusals on properly prepared applications are rare, and most issues are fixable conditions we handle for you.
What if the council asks questions or inspects?
Their questions come to us first; we deal with them and keep you informed. Inspections are arranged around your tenants.
Who signs the application?
You do — the fit-and-proper-person declarations are yours to make. We prepare everything so that what you sign is right.
