Landlord licensing
What YOU need to do
But what does that mean for you as a landlord, and how does Homesure help?
Here’s the key facts
- Landlord licensing schemes mean that landlords of rented properties in affected areas need to obtain a licence with the local authority.
- It doesn’t cover all areas.
- There may be discounts available for different things, such as being an accredited landlord or agent, EPC ratings etc. Each local authority is different and the exemptions change over time.
- Each scheme is different, so check the links below to get up-to-date official information from the local authority.
For those of you still buying investment properties, we can hold your hand, not just buying a new investment property but getting it licensed for you once your tenant has moved in.

What are we doing about it?
Here’s our CEO, Nick Stott, to explain…
The owners and many of the staff here at Homesure are landlords. We know how impactful licensing is on the finances of landlords, especially at the same time as rising interest rates, minimum energy efficiency (EPC) standards, additional stamp duty, and additional legislation such as electrical certificates (EICR) coming into force in 2021.
We will not be looking at this situation as a moneymaking scheme from our clients.
Any discounts that we receive, like being an accredited agent, we’ll pass on to you.
So, our landlords will save money on their licensing costs, and they won’t have to deal with any of the admin. Win-win!
We hope this goes to show that we always endeavour to act in our landlords’ best interests and reward them for their loyalty to us.
