Property Compliance for Landlords and Letting Agents in Enfield
Enfield’s selective licensing scheme started on 1 September 2026, so landlords with rented homes in the designated wards should check their position now. Primelinks Solutions Ltd coordinates the safety certificates that rented homes in Enfield need, for letting agents, property managers and landlords with more than one property.

- Group the work by address so one visit can cover several checks. See our landlord compliance packs.
Frequently asked questions
Does a licensed HMO in Enfield also need a selective licence?
No. The council says a property already licensed as an HMO under its mandatory or additional schemes does not need a selective licence. Confirm your property’s category on the council page.
Can Primelinks apply for the Enfield licence for me?
Licence applications are made to the council. We coordinate the safety certificates and inspections your licence conditions may ask for, and the council decides licensing.
Can you quote several Enfield properties together?
Yes. Send the addresses and the checks each property needs and we quote them together.
Asbestos surveys are handled by our specialist sister service, asbestoslondonsurvey.co.uk. We coordinate qualified providers; accreditation is held by the individual provider who carries out each inspection.
