Confirm the area and licence route
Selective licensing can cover privately rented homes that are not HMOs. The local notice defines its area and exclusions. Check whether mandatory or additional HMO licensing applies first, then confirm the selective boundary and exemptions for the exact property.
Read the HMO licence guide for the national threshold and local additional route. An additional HMO designation absent from this catalogue still needs council confirmation.
Reviewed selective designations

Questions about Harrow selective licensing
Do all six selective schemes expire together?
No. The May, July and September 2026 commencements have separate expiry dates in 2031. Check the notice that covers the property.
Does an HMO need a second selective licence?
The notices exclude properties requiring Part 2 HMO licensing. Harrow advises that a property only needs one housing licence. Confirm the appropriate route and any additional HMO designation with the council.
Can the Rental Licensing checker confirm an exact selective boundary?
No. It can identify the reviewed local records and show which facts still need checking. Selective results with an unresolved area remain manual review. Use the official council map or address service before treating a home as included or excluded.
What evidence should I keep after confirming the correct licence route?
Keep the relevant designation and boundary evidence, application acknowledgement, individual licence and its actual expiry and conditions. This guide records scheme dates; it does not verify that your property has a valid licence.
