    Property Management in Kensington

    Kensington mixes prime single-family houses with a very large converted-flat and HMO market around Earl's Court and Gloucester Road. Those two require completely different management, and we run both.

    Property in Kensington

    Garden-square stucco houses in W8, purpose-built mansion blocks around Kensington High Street, and a dense stock of converted flats and licensable HMOs towards SW5.

    Local rules that affect you

    Kensington and Chelsea runs additional HMO licensing across the borough. Any property with three or more occupants forming two or more households needs checking against the scheme — the penalties for getting it wrong are civil, not just financial.

    RBKC HMO licensing

    Application, floor plans, amenity-standard compliance, fire-risk assessment and renewal diarising — handled as part of the management fee, not billed as an extra.

    Conversion-flat compliance

    EICR, gas safety, EPC and fire-door obligations tracked per unit, with certificates stored and renewed before expiry rather than after.

    Void turnaround

    Cleaning, inventory, works and re-marketing coordinated to keep voids in days rather than weeks.

    Kensington property management FAQs

    Does my Kensington flat need an HMO licence?

    If it is occupied by three or more people forming two or more households, it very likely does under RBKC's additional licensing scheme. Send us the address and occupancy and we will confirm free of charge.

    Do you manage student and sharer lets in SW5?

    Yes — including joint and several tenancies, room-by-room lets and the compliance that comes with them.

    What is included in your Kensington management fee?

    Rent collection, arrears chasing, inspections, contractor management, compliance certificates and licensing administration. Major works are quoted separately.
