License Application Handling Service
With an estimated 316,000 private rented homes in London needing a property licence, many landlords find themselves struggling to understand the rules and yet fearful of getting things wrong.
​
Did you know there are now over thirty-five additional and selective licensing schemes operating in London? In some areas, you only need a licence for larger Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) whilst in other areas licensing has been extended to all house and flat shares occupied by 3 or more people.
​
Some councils have extended licensing to all private rented homes occupied by a single family.
The licensing arrangements are far from simple.
​
Failing to have the correct license for your property can lead to criminal prosecution and a hefty fine, a civil penalty of up to £30,000, an order to repay up to 12 months rent and the inability to evict your tenants using a Section 21 Notice of Seeking Possession.
