How much a property licence costs
This depends on things like the number of habitable rooms in the property. There’s a charge per letting or ‘unit’ that you rent out. When you apply, we’ll calculate this.
Use this table as a guide:
| Licence type | Cost |
|---|---|
| HMO licence - up to 5 lettings | £508.50 per letting |
| HMO licence - 6 or more lettings | £508.50 per letting for the first 5 £305.10 for every extra letting |
| HMO licence renewal | 15% off per-letting cost |
| Selective licence | £872.59 per licence |
The fees are VAT exempt. They cover the cost of administering and enforcing the licensing scheme. We review them regularly.
How to pay
You'll pay the fee in 2 stages. We take the first half when you apply and the rest when we issue your draft licence.
Property licence discount
You could get 15% off if you agree to lease or offer a tenancy to a tenant we nominate. This must be an assured shorthold tenancy for a minimum of 12 months.
We do not offer any other discounts or instalment plans.
