If you own rental property in the London Borough of Wandsworth, big changes are on the horizon. From 1 July 2025, Wandsworth Council is rolling out two new property licensing schemes that could directly affect your rental business. For responsible landlords, this presents both a compliance challenge and an opportunity to stand out. Yuno is here to ensure you do both—simply and confidently.

What’s Changing—and Why It Matters to You

Wandsworth is expanding its regulation of rental properties through:

• Selective Licensing – targeting single households or two unrelated sharers in 4 key wards (contact us to find out if your property is included).

   

• Additional HMO Licensing – applying borough-wide to smaller HMOs (3–4 tenants from different households) and flats in purpose-built blocks that fall outside the existing mandatory scheme.

   

These changes are designed to raise housing standards and crack down on negligent landlords. But even experienced landlords may find the process overwhelming—especially with multiple schemes, forms, standards, and penalties to consider.

Key Facts Landlords Must Know

The message is clear: proactive compliance is not optional. Miss a step, and you could face:

• Civil penalties up to £30,000 per property

   

• Rent Repayment Orders

   

• Restrictions on serving Section 21 notices

   

• Inclusion on the Mayor of London’s Rogue Landlord Checker
