What is Property Licence Checker?
Property Licence Checker is a free tool that helps landlords, letting agents, tenants, and property investors understand whether a property in England may require a licence, what type of licence might apply, and where to find official information from the relevant local council.
What we do
We research and compile publicly available information about landlord licensing schemes across England, including selective licensing, additional licensing, and mandatory HMO licensing. We present this information in a searchable, user-friendly format and always link back to official council sources.
