Why it matters

The cost of getting it wrong

Operating an unlicensed HMO risks a civil penalty of up to £40,000 per offence, plus a Rent Repayment Order of up to 24 months’ rent under the Renters' Rights Act 2025. Rules, fees and schemes differ in every council — we keep track so you don’t have to.

How it works

Three steps, and we do the paperwork

  1. 1

    Check your council

    Enter your postcode for an instant, honest read on whether you need a licence, your council’s fee, and the scheme that applies. No obligation.

  2. 2

    We prepare and submit

    Send us your property details and documents. We complete the right forms for your council and submit the whole application for you.

  3. 3

    The council decides

    Their questions come to us first and we deal with them. Inspections are arranged around your tenants. You sign; we make sure what you sign is right.

If we make an error that gets your application rejected as incomplete, we fix it free. We can never guarantee a licence. That decision is the council’s.

Common questions

Questions landlords ask

Do I definitely need a licence?

If 5 or more people from 2 or more households share a kitchen, bathroom or toilet, yes — a mandatory HMO licence is required anywhere in England. With 3–4 sharers it depends on whether your council runs an Additional Licensing scheme. Checking your council tells you in seconds, with no obligation.

Do you guarantee I’ll get the licence?

No one honestly can — the decision is the council’s. What we guarantee is a complete, correct application: if we make an error that gets it rejected as incomplete, we fix it free. Refusals on properly prepared applications are rare, and most issues are fixable conditions we handle for you.

What if the council asks questions or inspects?

Their questions come to us first; we deal with them and keep you informed. Inspections are arranged around your tenants.

Who signs the application?

You do — the fit-and-proper-person declarations are yours to make. We prepare everything so that what you sign is right.
