HMO workshop to discuss neighbourhood and community impact
Summary
Ealing Council is inviting landlords and tenants to a free workshop on how HMOs affect local communities and neighbourhoods. The event runs alongside a consultation on whether to extend additional licensing for smaller HMOs for a further five years from April 2027.
Why it matters
This is relevant to surveyors working in the private rented sector because HMO licensing and local authority policy can affect property management, compliance expectations and asset use. It also signals potential future regulatory changes in London that may influence valuation and advisory work.
