Property Licensing Check
This is the faster paid route when the free site has helped you narrow the issue but you still want a concise written summary for one property, postcode, or council situation.
£29Concise report by email, usually within 2 working daysOne property or postcode situationInformation service, not legal advice
Who it is for
Best for landlords, agents, and buyers who want written clarity quickly on one case.
- Useful when you want a written answer more quickly than piecing together several free pages yourself.
- Useful when the issue is one property, one postcode, or one council situation rather than a portfolio workflow.
- Useful when you want clearer signposting without commissioning a deeper due diligence review.
What you get
- A concise written summary of the current public council-source position for one property or postcode
- The likely licensing routes with official links and practical next steps
- A note of what still may need direct confirmation
- A clearer picture to support a practical decision, usually delivered within two working days of payment
What still may need confirming
- The final live position on the relevant council source.
- Any point where occupancy, intended use, exemptions, or area boundaries could change the answer.
- Any issue that crosses into legal, planning, lender, or transactional advice rather than licensing research alone.
How it works
- Submit your property details using the form on this page.
- You will receive a confirmation email straight away with next steps and payment instructions.
- A reviewer checks the current public council-source position for your specific situation.
- You receive a concise written summary by email, usually within two working days of payment.
How it differs from using the free site only
- The free site gives you the strongest public starting point and should still be your first step.
- The £29 review adds a human-reviewed written summary for one case, which can save time when the answer still feels unclear.
- It is designed to support a practical decision, not to hide useful free information behind a paywall.
Frequently asked questions
When is the £29 review most useful?
It is useful when the free checker has narrowed the question but you still want a concise written answer for one property, postcode, or council situation.
What makes it different from the free site?
The value is the human-reviewed summary, the tighter interpretation of the likely route, and a clearer note of what is still worth confirming before you act.
Does it replace council confirmation?
No. It is a decision-support service based on current public information. Final reliance should still involve direct council confirmation where the stakes justify it.
Request your review
£29Report by email, usually within 2 working days
Tell us the property context below and we will confirm the request straight away. You will receive a confirmation email with next steps, and your report is usually delivered within 2 working days.
Scope guarantee
If we review your request and determine it is outside the scope of what this service can usefully cover, we will let you know before asking for payment. You will never be charged for a review we cannot deliver.
Still deciding between products?
If you mainly want a quick written answer, this is the lighter paid route. If the decision is more material, the planned £79 due diligence report is designed to give a stronger risk-focused view.
