Councils Launch Consultations on Licensing and Housing Standards
Landlords in Greenwich, Ealing and Hertsmere are facing proposed changes to selective licensing, HMO licensing, and shared housing standards, according to a report by Property118.
The Royal Borough of Greenwich is considering an expansion of its selective licensing scheme. The proposal would increase coverage from five wards to as many as 18, which would bring around 70% of the borough within the scheme.
Ealing Council is consulting on extending its borough-wide licensing. Details of the proposed changes in Ealing and Hertsmere were not specified in the source excerpt.
These consultations may affect letting agents and inventory clerks operating in these areas, as changes to licensing and housing standards can impact property management requirements and compliance obligations.
