Landlord compliance FAQs (Hackney)
What licensing rules apply to Hackney landlords?
+
Hackney enforces mandatory HMO licensing for any property with 5+ unrelated occupants forming 2+ households. Many East London boroughs also operate additional or selective licensing — Newham, Hackney, Waltham Forest, Croydon and Tower Hamlets are the strictest. We format every certificate to the council's preferred layout so renewals are signed off first time.
What's the penalty for missing landlord certificates in Hackney?
+
Up to £30,000 per breach for EICR non-compliance under the Electrical Safety Standards Regulations 2020. CP12 non-compliance can void Section 21 notices and trigger HSE prosecution. MEES (EPC) breaches in Hackney are up to £30,000 per breach per property, with landlords required to spend up to £10,000 per property on relevant improvements before a cost-cap exemption can be registered.
Can you complete every certificate in one Hackney visit?
+
Yes — that's the model. One engineer team covers EICR + CP12 + EPC + PAT in a single visit across E5, E8, E9, N1, N16. FRA needs a desktop write-up after the survey but is delivered within 48 hours. One tenant disruption, one report bundle, one renewal date.
How do bundle discounts work for Hackney portfolios?
+
Booking two or more certificates together triggers the bundle saving automatically — EICR + CP12 –10%, full landlord pack –15%, EPC + Floor Plan –20%. Portfolio landlords with 3+ Hackney properties qualify for bespoke pricing on top.
What is the 28-day remedial rule and how does it apply in Hackney?
+
If an EICR shows C1, C2 or FI codes, remedials must be completed within 28 days. Tenants must receive written confirmation within 28 days; Hackney council within 7 days of completion. We turn round most remedials in 7 days from sign-off.
Do you cover all postcodes inside Hackney?
+
Yes — every postcode in E5, E8, E9, N1, N16. Engineers are dispatched from our Barking HQ daily across East London. Most Hackney bookings scheduled within 48 hours; emergency electrical attendance same-day.
