Letting in Harrow
If you let property in Harrow
Harrow town centre, Wealdstone and the streets around the college have a substantial private rented sector, including many HMOs. Harrow Council has designated six wards for selective licensing, so every privately rented home in them needs a licence unless it is exempt: Edgware and Roxeth from 2 May 2026, Greenhill and Marlborough from 6 July 2026, and Wealdstone North and Wealdstone South from 1 September 2026, each for five years. HMOs with five or more people in two or more households need a mandatory licence anywhere in the borough.
For smaller HMOs of three or four people, check the current position on additional licensing with Harrow Council. Since Harrow's Article 4 Direction took effect on 12 June 2026, some HMOs also need planning permission as well as a licence. If your property is licensed, read the conditions rather than assuming the general rules apply. Licence conditions can set testing intervals and standards the general law does not, and the licence condition is what binds you. (Checked against Harrow Council's website, September 2026.)

Local knowledge: Harrow
Why locals choose us in Harrow
We are based on Kenton Lane, a short drive from Harrow town centre, usually under fifteen minutes. We work Harrow town centre and St Ann's, the college and Harrow on the Hill, Wealdstone and the Civic Centre, and the residential streets running off Station Road, Pinner Road and Northolt Road, so when you describe a property here we usually know the road and the housing type before we arrive.
Parts of Harrow town centre and the streets around its stations are controlled parking zones, so for a job in a CPZ the resident books a Harrow Council visitor permit for our van, and we check the zone hours on the council's CPZ map before we arrive.
Harrow housing stock
Harrow's housing runs from Victorian and Edwardian terraces around the town centre and Wealdstone, through extensive 1930s semi-detached suburbia, to purpose-built flats and later infill near the stations. There is also a substantial rented sector, including a good number of houses in multiple occupation around the town centre and the college.
What that means for certificates and repairs
- Pre-war terraces frequently still have rewireable fuse boards or first-generation RCD boards, which is the most common reason an EICR comes back unsatisfactory here
- 1930s semis were built with far fewer sockets than modern use requires, so extension leads and daisy-chained adaptors are common and worth designing out
- Older properties near the town centre often have back boilers or ageing conventional systems with stored hot water, which raises the legionella considerations that a combi flat simply does not have
- Where a property is an HMO or is licensed, PAT testing and licence-condition compliance come up as part of the job, so we ask about licensing when you book

Harrow: common questions
Not answered here? Call 0203 667 1333 and ask.
Do you cover all of Harrow or just the town centre?
All of it: the town centre, Wealdstone, North, South and West Harrow, Harrow on the Hill and Harrow Weald. Our office is on Kenton Lane, which puts every part of the borough within a short drive.
Does my Harrow rental need a selective licence?
It does if it is in one of the six wards Harrow Council has designated and is not exempt: Edgware and Roxeth (from 2 May 2026), Greenhill and Marlborough (from 6 July 2026), and Wealdstone North and Wealdstone South (from 1 September 2026). Selective licensing covers ordinary lets to one or two people or a single family, not just HMOs; a licensed HMO does not need a second licence. Use the ward checker on the council's website to confirm the address, and send us the licence conditions once you have them.
More in our guide to Harrow selective licensing wards and dates.
My Harrow property is an HMO. Does that change what I need?
It can, significantly. HMO licence conditions frequently specify requirements beyond the general statutory minimum, including testing intervals, alarm specifications and fire door standards. Send us the licence conditions and we will tell you what they actually require rather than guessing.
Why do older Harrow properties fail EICRs so often?
Mostly the consumer unit and the earthing. A rewireable fuse board with no RCD protection will generate C2 observations on its own, and older properties often have inadequate main bonding to gas and water. Both are fixable without a rewire, which is what a lot of landlords are wrongly told they need.
Is there a parking or permit problem for Harrow call-outs?
In parts of Harrow town centre and around the station, yes: controlled zones and limited waiting. It does not stop us attending, but it affects how long a visit takes and occasionally means we need a visitor permit or a suspended bay for a longer job. Tell us the parking situation when you book and we will plan for it rather than discovering it on the day.
Can you turn a Harrow void around before a new tenancy starts?
Usually, and it is a large part of what we do here given the size of the rented sector. Send us the check-out report and the move-in date. We will tell you honestly whether the date is achievable, and if it is not we will tell you that too rather than starting and running out of time.
I own several properties across Harrow. Can you handle them together?
Yes, and it is worth doing. We hold the certificate diary across the portfolio, group visits by street where the dates allow it, and invoice monthly. Grouping saves the duplicated call-out costs that come from treating each property as a separate job.
How quickly can you get to a Harrow emergency?
Emergencies are attended same day in opening hours, Monday to Saturday; on Sundays we take emergency calls only, from our Kenton Lane office. Harrow town centre, Wealdstone and North Harrow are all a short drive. If we genuinely cannot make it we will say so on the phone so you can call someone else rather than waiting on us.
Do you work with Harrow letting agents?
Regularly, on account with monthly consolidated invoicing, photographic before-and-after reporting and an agreed spend threshold below which we simply get on with it.
What will you not take on in Harrow?
Structural work, significant roofing, damp investigation and full building projects. We will say so and point you to someone appropriate rather than attempt work we are not the right trade for.
