Enfield at a glance
Enfield introduced borough-wide additional HMO licensing on 1 September 2025 and a new selective scheme covering 17 wards on 1 September 2026, replacing an earlier 14-ward scheme. Landlords who let before those dates may now need a licence they did not need before. We check which one applies to your house.
Enfield's additional HMO licensing scheme has applied borough-wide since 1 September 2025 to HMOs with three or more people from more than one household sharing amenities. A new selective licensing scheme covering 17 wards across two designations began on 1 September 2026 for homes let to one or two people or a single family, replacing the previous 14-ward scheme. A property already licensed as an HMO does not also need a selective licence. Mandatory licensing applies to HMOs with five or more people.
Demand comes from hospital and public-sector staff, commuters using the Piccadilly line and Overground, and tenants priced out of Haringey and Islington.
Transport and employers: Piccadilly line from Southgate, Oakwood and Cockfosters; Overground from Enfield Town, Southbury, Turkey Street and Silver Street; Great Northern from Palmers Green, Winchmore Hill and Grange Park. North Middlesex University Hospital in Edmonton is a major employer.
We look for three to six bedroom houses near Southgate, Oakwood, Palmers Green, Winchmore Hill, Enfield Town and Edmonton. Tenants want a short walk to a station and a house with enough living space for four or five people to share without crowding. We pay for the refurbishment and furnishing.
Enfield now licenses most of its private rented stock. A house with three or more sharers needs an additional or mandatory licence, and a single-family let in one of the selective wards needs a selective licence from 1 September 2026. We manage this for houses we lease. The council’s private rented property licensing page has the full detail.
Enfield Town, around Church Street and the Palace Gardens shopping centre, has trains to Liverpool Street. Southgate, around Southgate Circus, is on the Piccadilly line, and its listed station was designed by Charles Holden. Larger inter-war houses in the roads around either station can suit four to six sharers.
Palmers Green, along Green Lanes, and Winchmore Hill have wide residential streets of Edwardian and 1930s houses served by Great Northern trains to Moorgate and King’s Cross. These are among the more popular areas for professionals who want a quieter place that is still within about 25 minutes of central London.
Edmonton Green, with its shopping centre, and the roads towards Ponders End have many family houses. North Middlesex University Hospital, on Sterling Way, is one of the borough’s largest employers, so rooms within reach of Silver Street or Edmonton Green are in steady demand from NHS staff.
At the northern end of the Piccadilly line, Oakwood and Cockfosters border the green belt and Trent Park. Houses here are larger, so they suit a smaller group of professionals who want more space and a quieter setting.
Enfield stretches from the Piccadilly line to the Hertfordshire border, and rents vary a long way across it. We assess each house by its street, its walk to a station and its layout, and we confirm the licence position first, because the rules have changed twice in the last year.

These are the problems landlords raise most often, with the evidence behind them and what we do about each.
Landlords say the most frustrating part of using a manager is calls and emails that go unanswered, so they only hear about problems after they have grown.
48% of landlords name lack of communication as one of their top frustrations with letting agents (Goodlord survey, April 2026).Landlord Today
Cyrus Pacotho, the director, is your single point of contact. Communication is the theme that comes up most in our Google reviews.
The most serious complaint about guaranteed rent in general is an operator that stops paying, becomes hard to reach and leaves the landlord to recover the property.
Landlord Action has documented operators that stopped paying, refused to answer calls and denied access for inspections. The NRLA reported rising mediation requests where an operator could not pay the agreed rent or the relationship had broken down.Property Reporter (Nov 2021) and NRLA (Dec 2023)
Rent is paid on the same date every month: £126,650 paid and 36 on-time payments since September 2024. We are a registered company with a named director, and the lease is in writing before you sign. A guarantee is a contract with us, not insurance, so read the terms and take independent advice.
Shared houses need the right licence in most London boroughs. If an operator gets it wrong, councils can issue penalties and the owner can be drawn in.
Haringey Council states that failing to comply with licence conditions is a criminal offence and can lead to a financial penalty of up to £30,000.London Borough of Haringey
We identify which licence applies to your house, apply for it and keep it current for the length of the lease. Gas, electrical, EPC and smoke and CO alarm checks are part of the service. As the owner you keep some legal responsibilities, so ask any operator to show you the licence.
