SELECTIVE LICENSING · REVIEWED RECORD

Leeds selective licensing: East, South and West

Leeds’s 2026 selective scheme covers designated parts of six wards in East, South and West Leeds. Current council guidance explicitly states its final expiry.

Evidence reviewed Recorded period: to Revision 1
The exact address needs a boundary check.

This is a partial-area designation. Ward names and postcodes cannot by themselves establish whether this property is covered. Use the council map or address service.

Which properties does the designation cover?

Mapped parts of Armley, Beeston and Holbeck, Burmantofts and Richmond Hill, Hunslet and Riverside, Gipton and Harehills, and Farnley and Wortley.

  • Privately rented homes or units inside the designated area, unless exempt.

Scope, exclusions and separate checks

Current council guidance establishes the dates; the legal map has not been validated for address matching. Check the exact property boundary and any exemptions with Leeds.

  • HMO-licensed homes and statutory exempt tenancies need separate assessment.
  • Resident landlord, family, holiday, business and social housing exemptions depend on the specific statutory definitions.

Fees and the council application

Use Leeds’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 exact address on Leeds’s map; do not infer coverage from the ward alone.
  2. Keep the application acknowledgement and comply with the individual licence conditions.
