Property Maintenance in Hackney: HMO Licensing, Shoreditch Commercial & Victorian Terraces

It depends on the current designation, which has been changing. Mandatory HMO licensing, for HMOs occupied by five or more people forming two or more households, applies across Hackney at all times. Hackney's previous additional and selective licensing schemes expired on 30 September 2023, and in 2025 the council consulted on a new borough-wide additional HMO licensing scheme plus selective licensing across 17 wards. Because a new scheme can bring smaller HMOs and single-family lets into scope, landlords should check the live designation before letting. Mainteniq keeps EICR, CP12, PAT, and Legionella records current so you can license without delay whenever a scheme applies.

A single planned maintenance contract can combine EICR, Gas Safety Certificates (CP12), PAT testing, Legionella risk assessment, boiler servicing, and communal M&E, giving one compliance calendar and one point of contact, which is particularly valuable given the borough's shifting licensing requirements.
