Property licence check
A UK rental can need a licence even when it is a normal family house. Selective licensing covers ordinary private rented homes in designated streets. Additional and mandatory HMO licensing cover shared houses. The only way to know is the postcode and how the property is let.
Use the free checker for every live scheme that could apply. The £7.99 report is the property-specific verdict: scheme dates, fees, penalty exposure, and what to do next. England and Wales are paid; Scotland and Northern Ireland get the national rules without a charge.
