Local Authority Compliance You Can Trust

At Winslow Group, we recognise that each local authority operates under its own set of housing regulations, licensing requirements, and compliance expectations. No two boroughs are exactly like and that's why we take a detailed, borough-specific approach to property compliance across all the areas we operate in.

From initial property assessment to facilitation of full tenant placement, we ensure that every home in our portfolio is aligned with the legal standards and operational frameworks set by the relevant local authority. Whether it's navigating complex licensing schemes, implementing borough-specific fire safety protocols, or meeting environmental and repair standards under the Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS), we handle the process with precision and care.

Our dedicated compliance team liaises directly with local council officers to stay up to date with any changes in regulation, ensuring that our properties always remain ahead of legal requirements. By tailoring our compliance process to meet the exact standards of each individual borough, we provide a consistent and dependable service that offers reassurance to landlords and public sector part
