Empowering local authorities to identify unlicensed HMOs
PriceHubble’s Unlicensed HMO Discovery Solution equips local authorities with the tools to accurately identify and target potential unlicensed Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) for priority investigation.
Accurately pinpoint unlicensed HMOs for effective enforcement
With a significant number of HMOs operating without a licence, local authorities face challenges in enforcement due to resource constraints, high case volumes, and limited information. Our solution addresses this by providing a highly predictive list of potential unlicensed HMOs, enabling efficient allocation of investigative efforts.
Harness data-driven insights to enhance HMO compliance
PriceHubble's solution empowers local authorities to proactively manage housing standards and tenant safety. By leveraging advanced analytics, we help and bring properties into regulatory compliance. Key applications include:
Resource optimisation: Focus limited enforcement resources on properties most likely operating without licenses.
Tenant safety assurance: Identifying unlicensed HMOs ensures tenants reside in properties meeting gas safety, kitchen facilities, and other regulatory standards.
Revenue enhancement: Recover lost rental income through fines, RROs, civil penalties, and additional licence requirements.
Regulatory compliance: Maintain up-to-date records and ensure adherence to HMO regulations and legal requirements.
Seamlessly integrate unlicensed HMO data into your workflow
Streamline your workflow and take swift action with PriceHubble’s flexible data delivery options. Our unlicensed HMO insights are available via API for real-time integration or as batch files for bulk data processing.
