An application form must be completed and returned to the council for houses in multiple occupation (HMOs) which require a licence. The application form can be downloaded from this page.
Please refer to the Government's website via the link on the right hand side of this page for further information concerning qualifying criteria for properties requiring a HMO licence.
The council aims to acknowledge receipt of your HMO licence application within 10 working days. You are strongly recommended to obtain proof of postage as well as ensuring that you keep a copy of your completed application and any supporting documents. If you have not heard after 10 working days of sending in your application then you should contact us. Remember it is your responsibility to ensure that we get your application form otherwise you will be committing an offence if you are operating an unlicensed HMO.
