Property Compliance for Landlords and Letting Agents in Hackney

Primelinks Solutions Ltd coordinates the safety certificates that rented homes in Hackney need, for letting agents, property managers and landlords with more than one property. One quote and one booking can cover each address on your list.

Check which licence applies in Hackney

Hackney Council decides licensing, and the rules depend on the property and, in some boroughs, the ward. The council’s published position at the time of writing:

• Selective licensing: covers almost all private rented homes in 17 of the borough’s 21 wards, so the ward matters.
• Additional HMO licensing: applies where a property is shared by 3 or 4 people from 2 or more households.
• Mandatory HMO licensing applies for larger HMOs.

Always confirm your property on the Hackney Council licensing page. Licence applications are made to the council; we do not make licensing decisions. Licence conditions commonly ask for current gas, electrical and fire safety documents, which is where we help.

Certificates we coordinate

• Gas safety certificates (CP12)
• Electrical safety reports (EICR)
• Energy performance certificates
• Smoke and CO alarm checks
• Fire risk assessments
• Legionella risk assessments
• HMO compliance documents

Managing several properties

Our landlord compliance packs group the checks each address needs. Use the letting agent compliance calendar to plan renewals across a portfolio. 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.

This page is general information, not legal advice. Licensing schemes change; check the council’s current rules for your property.
