Selective licensing
Selective licensing also covers 19 of Ealing's 24 wards, including the Acton and Southall wards, so ordinary single-household lets in those wards need a licence too.
Additional licensing
Ealing runs borough-wide additional licensing, so most HMOs with three or more sharers from two or more households need a licence. The current scheme runs to 31 March 2027, and the council consulted in 2026 on a replacement scheme from April 2027.
HMO planning
An Article 4 direction now covers effectively the whole borough (Perivale from October 2024, the rest from 14 November 2025), so turning a family house into a small HMO needs planning permission.

What property management in Ealing includes

Full management means one firm carries the whole tenancy for your Ealing property, from the first photograph to the final inspection, and one point of contact answers to you.

Marketing and lettings

Professional photos, a launch price built from live local evidence, accompanied viewings, and applicants from corporate relationships as well as the property portals.

Vetting and paperwork

Full referencing, credit and right to rent checks, a tenancy agreement drafted for the Renters' Rights Act era, and the deposit protected on time.

Rent collection

Rent collected on schedule, with arrears followed up from the first day, so a late payment stays a rarity rather than becoming a habit.

Maintenance and repairs

Vetted local trades and agreed spending limits, so repairs are handled quickly and nothing is spent outside the framework you set.

Inspections and statements

Quarterly inspections reported in writing with photos, and a clear monthly statement, so you always know the state of the property.

Renewals and advice

Renewals priced against real market evidence, and honest advice on each property: improve it, hold it, or change its strategy.

Managing a rental in Ealing: the local picture

Managing a rental in Ealing means working with demand that arrives from several directions at once. The Elizabeth line at Ealing Broadway and West Ealing has brought in professionals who once lived further east, the University of West London keeps a steady flow of staff and students, and families stay for the schools. For a landlord, that mix is good news, but only if the property is presented and priced for the right group.

The day-to-day work here is about consistency. Tenants who commute on the Elizabeth line expect repairs answered quickly and a landlord who behaves like a professional, and they renew when they get that. Renewals are where most of the money in Ealing is made or lost, so we start the conversation early, price against what similar homes have actually achieved, and plan any refresh around the change of tenant rather than leaving it to chance.

Ealing also rewards owners who think long term. W5 and W13 hold their appeal through market cycles, so a well-kept house here tends to deliver steady income and hold its value. Our job is to protect both: fewer empty weeks, fewer surprises, and a property that comes back in good order at the end of every tenancy.

The Ealing properties we manage

  • Victorian and Edwardian terracesCommon around West Ealing and Northfields. Older roofs, gutters and boilers need planned checks, so we inspect them every quarter and flag work before it turns into an emergency.
  • Flats near Ealing BroadwayPurpose-built and converted flats close to the station. We work with the freeholder or block manager on shared repairs, so the tenant gets one clear answer.
  • Family houses towards Pitshanger and Hanger HillLarger homes that attract long-staying families. We focus on early renewals and careful upkeep to keep them let for years, not months.
  • Shared houses and HMOsRun strictly within Ealing's licensing rules, with fire safety, room sizes and licence conditions checked before a single room is let.

Licensing and compliance in Ealing

Ealing is one of the more demanding boroughs in London for licensing. Selective licensing covers 19 of the borough's 24 wards, including the Acton and Southall wards, so many ordinary single-household lets need their own licence, not just shared houses. On top of that, borough-wide additional licensing means most HMOs with three or more sharers from two or more households need a licence. The current scheme runs to 31 March 2027, and the council has consulted on a replacement from April 2027.

Planning matters too. An Article 4 direction now covers effectively the whole borough, so turning a family house into a small HMO needs planning permission first. We check the exact position for your address before we take a property on, apply for any licence it needs, and keep licence conditions, certificates and renewal dates on our calendar so nothing slips.

Ealing property management questions, answered

Do you cover the whole of Ealing?
Yes. We manage properties across W5, W13 and W7, from Ealing Broadway and Northfields through West Ealing to Hanwell, Pitshanger and Hanger Hill. Neighbouring Acton and Southall have their own dedicated pages.
Does my Ealing rental need a licence?
Possibly, even if it is not a shared house. Selective licensing covers 19 of Ealing's 24 wards, so many single-household lets need a licence, and most HMOs need one under the borough-wide additional scheme. We check your exact address and handle the application.
Can you take over from my current letting agent in Ealing?
Yes. We handle the whole handover: notice to your current agent, transfer of the deposit, certificates, keys and documents, and a compliance review. Your tenant stays in place throughout.
Do you manage HMOs in Ealing?
Yes, within the licensing and planning rules. An Article 4 direction covers effectively the whole borough, so new conversions need planning permission. For existing licensed HMOs, we manage the rooms, the licence conditions and the safety checks.
How often will you inspect my Ealing property?
Every quarter, with a written report and photos sent to you. Older terraces in West Ealing and Northfields benefit from this most, because small problems with roofs, gutters and damp are caught early.
Can you manage my Ealing property if I live abroad?
Yes. Many of our Ealing landlords live overseas. You receive monthly statements and inspection reports, and any spend above the limit you set comes to you for approval first.
