The law requires that certain types of rented property are licensed in order to meet standards that ensure a house is safe for the occupants

On receipt of a valid application, an officer will contact you to arrange an inspection of the licensable property. Following a satisfactory inspection, a draft licence will be issued for your comments, followed by a Full Licence which is valid for a period of 5 years.

In order for us to process your application, a valid application must be made.  See the relevant area specific application form for a checklist of supporting documentation that must be submitted.

Charges:

The HMO licensing fee will be dependent on the area within which your property is situated and will be as follows from April 1st, 2023: 

Mandatory HMO Licence Fee: £761

Mandatory HMO Licence Fee (Renewal): £631

There is no fee for variations to a House in Multiple Occupation licence conditions, but once issued the licence is non-transferable so changes to the licence holder would require submission of a new application.
