If you own or manage a House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) in London, you must ensure your property meets strict electrical safety standards. At Landlord-Cert, we provide professional HMO electrical certificate services across all London boroughs, helping you comply with mandatory HMO licensing requirements.
What Is an HMO Electrical Certificate?
An HMO Electrical Certificate is a mandatory Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) specifically required for Houses in Multiple Occupation. HMO properties, which are shared by three or more tenants from different households, are subject to additional safety requirements and licensing regulations.
The certificate provides a comprehensive inspection of all fixed electrical installations in your HMO property, including:
- All wiring and electrical circuits
- Consumer units and distribution boards
- All sockets, switches, and lighting circuits
- Kitchen and bathroom electrical installations
- Common areas and individual room electrical systems
Why You Need an HMO Electrical Certificate in London
HMO properties in London are subject to strict licensing requirements from local councils. Part of these requirements includes having a valid electrical safety certificate (EICR). Without a valid certificate, you may be unable to obtain or renew your HMO licence, which can result in prosecution and fines.

- Own or manage an HMO property in London
- Are applying for an HMO licence
