- Applies to
- Every privately rented home on the listed streets in five areas of Mansfield and Market Warsop, including shared houses that don't need a mandatory HMO licence. Some streets are covered only for certain house numbers, so check the council's street list. Exempt: HMOs that need a mandatory licence, homes let by social landlords or the council, and the kinds of letting exempt nationally, such as holiday lets, business tenancies, long leases and a home the landlord lives in and shares with the tenant.

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.
