Property compliance risk is changing. Most landlords are not ready.

Specialist HMO and Renters' Rights Act consultancy helping advisers and landlords identify exposure, reduce enforcement risk, and act before penalties escalate.

Enforcement changes take full effect 1 May 2026.

Advice grounded in real enforcement experience.

McIntyre Property Compliance Ltd is led by Liam McIntyre, BSc (Hons), LLB (Hons), MCIEH, bringing more than two decades of front-line housing enforcement experience across London and metropolitan England, including Liverpool, Manchester, Westminster, Islington and Newham.

This is not distant, theoretical consultancy. It is practical compliance guidance from someone who understands how breaches are identified, how penalties are calculated, and where landlords are most exposed.
