Astor analyst's read

Harrow — 1 active Article 4 direction (HMO-specific) on record; verify coverage with council.

Profile

Outer London suburban borough, predominantly lower-density family stock and small residential conversions.

Planning

1 active Article 4 direction in our records, HMO-specific; verify current footprint and scope with the council.

Deal angle

Single HMO-targeted A4 direction suggests selective regulatory restriction; bridging/HMO play viability depends on street-level designation verification.
