Hammersmith and Fulham was found to be the London borough with the highest average fines (£19,800), followed by Hillingdon (£13,500), and Hackney (£11,250).

"Licensing schemes, fines and enforcement through Rent Repayment Orders are all increasing, so it’s vital agents act to protect themselves, their landlords and of course their tenants.”
