Complex Compliance: Turning Regulatory Overload into Opportunity
Managing property compliance has become increasingly challenging, particularly as new regulations and local council rules continue to evolve. Recent figures show that 29% of landlords now cite compliance as their main reason for using letting agents—up from 17% in 2023. With the upcoming Renters Rights Act set to tighten requirements further, the demand for comprehensive compliance support is only growing.
At Yuno, we refer to this heightened level of oversight as Complex Compliance . It extends beyond the usual checks—like gas safety, electrical safety, and EPCs—and delves into the more nuanced requirements of specific property types, locations, and occupancies. A prime example is Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) , where licensing rules and safety standards can vary significantly from one council to the next. Missing a single requirement can mean delays, penalties, or even legal action.
For letting agents and property professionals, providing robust compliance services is now a key differentiator. Retaining landlords often hinges on the ability to navigate complex regulations and avoid penalties. By offering a well-rounded compliance framework, agents can reduce their clients’ stress while delivering a valuable service that supports long-term portfolio growth.
Become an HMO Specialist
Yuno’s Centralised Full Service Compliance Management includes automated checks for local HMO licensing, planning requirements, design considerations, and fire safety standards. Our Property Evaluation feature quickly assesses HMO suitability, ensuring no surprises when it comes to meeting local or national guidelines. We also offer a panel of compliance experts who can guide you through each stage, from initial assessment to final sign-off.
Case Study: Mixed Compliance in Action
According to government data, 35% of properties have mixed compliance requirements that can involve HMO regulations, licence renewals, planning applications, fire safety risk assessments, and more. One property manager noted that juggling upgrades—like specifying the right grade of alarm systems and ensuring doors meet fire resistance standards—can be both time-consuming and costly. Yuno’s streamlined approach helped them address each requirement in logical order, reducing stress and preventing costly rework.
Our clients echo these benefits:
