Landlord licensing in Merton

Everywhere in England, a shared house or flat needs a mandatory HMO licence when five or more people from two or more households live there.

The London Borough of Merton also runs additional HMO licensing in seven wards, covering smaller shared homes of three or four people from more than one household.

Selective licensing applies in four wards, where most privately rented homes need a licence, not only shared ones.

Both schemes cover the east of the borough, including Colliers Wood, Figge's Marsh and Pollards Hill.

Check the council's licensing page

Checked 2 October 2026. Licensing is the landlord's responsibility and rules change, so the council's own page is the final word. Emilecon does not apply for licences.
