Questions to ask
- How many people will live at the property?
- Are they from more than one household?
- Do they share facilities such as kitchen or bathroom?
- Does the local council have mandatory, additional or selective licensing requirements?
Why local checking matters
- HMO licensing is not only a national question. Local councils can have their own licensing schemes and standards.
- Use LettingReady as a prompt, then check your local council position.
