ENGLAND LICENSING GUIDE

How much does an HMO licence cost?

Licence fees are council-specific. Check the current fee schedule and any separate application and grant payments.

Evidence reviewed Independent referenceOfficial guidance ↗

Use the council fee schedule

There is no single England-wide HMO licence fee. Councils set their charges and can vary them by occupancy, application type and circumstances. Follow the official source rather than an old comparison table.

Separate council fees from monitoring

Rental Licensing subscriptions pay for the monitoring product. They do not pay a council licence fee, submit an application or grant a licence.

Check your property

Use the free checker with your council and property facts. Partial boundaries, flats, converted buildings, resident landlords and statutory exemptions still need individual review.

LANDLORD PRO

Keep the property record ready for the next change.

A free check answers today’s question. Monitoring brings reviewed scheme changes, certificate dates and the supporting documents into a saved property record.

Reviewed rule changes

Follow published changes for supported councils. Partial-area designations still need an exact address check.

Dates and evidence

Record actual licence and certificate deadlines, keep private document versions and export the property evidence.

A small portfolio

Pro is designed for up to ten properties. Proposed pricing is £144 a year or £15 paid monthly, separate from council fees.
