Property Compliance for Landlords and Letting Agents in Redbridge
Redbridge Council runs selective licensing in certain parts of the borough, alongside HMO licensing, so the address decides which rules apply. Primelinks Solutions Ltd coordinates the safety certificates that rented homes in Redbridge need, for letting agents, property managers and landlords with more than one property.

Before you apply for a licence
- Confirm the category for each address on the council page.
- Read the licence conditions for that category. They commonly refer to gas, electrical and fire safety.
- Check certificate dates so nothing expires mid-application. Our compliance calendar shows usual renewal intervals.
- Group the work by address so one visit can cover several checks. See our landlord compliance packs.
Frequently asked questions
Does selective licensing cover all of Redbridge?
The council describes selective licensing as applying in certain parts of the borough, not everywhere. Check each address on the council’s selective licensing page before assuming a licence is or is not needed.
Can Primelinks apply for the Redbridge 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 Redbridge 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.
