In August 2018 my blog touched on the new HMO licenses that are being brought in across the UK from 1st October 2018. Before this date the criteria was that mandatory licensing applies for properties rented to 5 or more people and it’s at least 3 stories high with a shared toilet, bathroom or kitchen facilities). However, from 1 October 2018, the criteria is changing so that the 3 story requirement no longer applies (to bring smaller HMOs within the mandatory licensing scheme). The content in this video is very clear and precise and I would recommend that those new to HMO’s or those being looking after HMO’s take a watch.
