Property Management in Kensington
Kensington owners face different management demands in large houses, mansion flats and shared accommodation. Start with the property type, leasehold restrictions, occupancy and licensing position rather than assuming one management model fits all.

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
Check whether a licence applies to this specific address and tenancy arrangement. Agree whether coordinating applications, plans, safety assessments and renewals is included in the proposal or billed separately.
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
Build a tenancy-end plan covering inspections, inventory, contractor access, repairs and marketing. Reletting timing depends on condition, access, demand and legal requirements; no particular void period can be promised.
Kensington property management FAQs
Does my Kensington flat need an HMO licence?
Licensing depends on occupancy, property configuration and the council scheme applicable to the address. Check the current Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea rules and seek a written assessment where needed.
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.
