Lambeth additional HMO licensing

Which properties does the designation cover?

The recorded threshold is at least 3 people in at least 2 households, sharing facilities. The checker handles ordinary houses; exceptions and building-specific provisions require council confirmation.

Scope, exclusions and separate checks

The published designation ends on 8 December 2026. A successor requires a separate reviewed record. Certain converted buildings and flats need individual review. Selective licensing is also present and is not resolved by this record.

Additional HMO designation and both selective licensing phases reviewed. Selective boundaries still need exact-address confirmation.

Fees and the council application

Use Lambeth’s current fee schedule and application process for your property. This record does not infer a fee from another council or a past year. A Rental Licensing subscription does not pay the council, submit an application or grant a licence.

What to do next

1. Check the occupancy facts and the exact property against the current council guidance.
2. Read any exemptions, and establish whether a valid individual licence is already held.
3. Use the council’s process if an application is needed. Keep licensing and planning checks separate.
