New application for Mandatory (HMO) Licence

One application is required per property.

To ensure you apply correctly click here.

This application will take around 45 minutes.

NOTE: If you have more than one property to licence have you completed the 'My Profile' section. If you have not click on ‘My Account’ BEFORE you complete this form. You can then choose the ‘Saved Data’ option when shown and select the relevant parties information, this will save you time and the need to duplicate this information.

IMPORTANT: This application should only be used if the following criteria is met:
A property must be licensed under the mandatory licensing scheme if it has:

  • 5 or more occupants (who comprise two or more separate family units or 'Households')
  • Shared amenities such as bathroom, kitchen, or toilet facilities or where all the units of accommodation are not fully self-contained (i.e. although a kitchen, bathroom or WC are provided for the tenant’s use elsewhere in the building, they are not actually situated within their unit of accommodation.)

All fields marked with an asterisk (*) are required.
