Fast, professional compliance services for landlords and letting agents across West Yorkshire, South Yorkshire and Greater Manchester.
The Renters’ Rights Act has brought the biggest changes to private renting in decades. No-fault evictions have ended, landlords need a specific legal ground to regain possession, fixed-term tenancies have become periodic, and new duties such as a national landlord database are being introduced. Together with new standards, this affects every part of letting a home.
Here’s what’s changing for each of our services:
What’s changing: The government has confirmed all private rented homes must reach EPC C by October 2030, with a £10,000 spending cap. A new-style EPC is due in 2027.
What’s changing: BS 9792:2025 has replaced PAS 79 as the standard for housing fire risk assessments, and every assessment must be fully recorded in writing. Blocks over 11m also need regular fire door checks.
What’s changing: The revised HHSRS uses 21 hazards rated High, Medium or Low, and councils can now fine up to £7,000 for each High (Category 1) hazard.
What’s changing: Councils can now bring in selective licensing more easily, fines for licensing offences have risen to £40,000, and tenants can claim back up to two years’ rent.

A small company, set up by former council housing enforcement officers.
Our team has over 10 years’ experience in local authority housing enforcement and social housing compliance, inspecting properties, rating hazards under the HHSRS and dealing with HMO and selective licensing. We know what councils look for, because we’ve done the job.
We have no interest in the outcome of any inspection. Reports are clear, evidence-based and unbiased, in line with all current legislation, standards and guidance, and kept up to date as they change.
EPCs, fire risk assessments, HHSRS surveys and licence applications are all handled in-house, so you don’t need to find and manage several contractors.
We’re deliberately small. The assessor who inspects your property writes your report, so you always know who you’re dealing with: no call centre and no subcontracting.
