Your Labour Led Gravesham Borough Council are not only enforcing against unlicensed HMO's but also looking to bring in so called Article Four directions to ensure that HMO's need planning permission rather than just being permitted developments. This process started in October 2025 and the council teams are working through the legal processes now.

Unlicensed HMOs will not be tolerated in Gravesham.

Our Private Sector Housing team has taken action against a landlord operating an unlicensed House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) in Cross Lane East.

Following an inspection on 10 April 2026, officers found five unrelated people living at the property and identified multiple breaches of the Management of Houses in Multiple Occupation (England) Regulations 2006, mainly relating to fire safety.

The landlord was initially fined £10,000. Following representations, they accepted liability and paid the reduced amount of £7,500 within 28 days.

Everyone deserves to live in a safe and properly managed home. We will continue to take action where landlords fail to meet their responsibilities.

Your The Labour Party Government is investing nearly £10 billion to build genuinely affordable homes where they’re needed most and is funding more than 70,000 new homes across England, putting councils at the heart of housebuilding and helping more families find a safe, secure home.

In Gravesham under your Labour Led Gravesham Borough Council we have already invested in new council housing including on brownfield sites to help those families on our council housing waiting list.

Cowboy builders don't just rip people off. They leave families with months of stress, the disruption of unfinished work, and that horrible feeling of being taken advantage of. Not only that, but they give the vast majority of decent, hardworking tradespeople a bad name.

The Labour Party is putting the cowboys out of business. These changes mean you'll now have the option to make sure your money is held safely and released bit by bit as the work gets done.

It's the latest in our series of everyday fixes to give people room to breathe and make Britain fairer. We've taken on subscription traps, fake discounts, and now we're coming for the cowboy builders. Enough is enough
