What this means for landlords
Selective licensing applies to privately rented homes in the designated area regardless of size — single lets included. Letting an unlicensed property inside the area can mean a civil penalty of up to £30,000, a rent repayment order of up to 12 months’ rent, and no valid possession notice until the position is fixed.
Is your property inside the scheme area?
This checker reflects HouseFile’s records of council licensing designations, not the councils’ live registers. Our records indicate the position at the verification date shown on each result — schemes are designated, renewed and revoked throughout the year, and postcode-level lookups are approximate near scheme boundaries. Always confirm with the council before letting or buying a property, using the source link on each card. This is general information, not legal advice.
