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 Bill (RRB) 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.
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.
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:
“Yuno offer a fantastic all-encompassing service that takes the strain out of the licensing application process… We also find them to be a trusted adviser on any impending licensing changes.” – Senior Manager, Marsh & Parsons
“Considering how tricky the requirements imposed by Hammersmith & Fulham Council have been, Yuno’s help in ensuring my portfolio is meeting these required licensing requirements has been invaluable. Their standard of work is excellent.” – Property Manager, Douglas & Gordans
In an era where councils and central government are tightening regulations, property professionals who adapt stand to gain a significant advantage. Rather than viewing these rules as a burden, forward-thinking agents and landlords can turn them into a selling point. Demonstrating expert knowledge of local planning, safety standards, and licensing frameworks builds trust and reassures clients that their portfolios are in safe hands.
