Property licensing

Find out about mandatory, additional and selective licences and if you need one. What happens if you do not have one when you should.

Enforcement

You can be prosecuted or fined if you’re a landlord or managing agent for a property that needs a licence and do not get one.

The Rogue Landlord and Agent Checker has details of landlords who have received convictions or civil penalty notices.

You can search our licensing register to check if a property has a licence.
