Liverpool Landlords Face Sliding Scale for Licensing Fees

Liverpool landlords could face licence fees ranging from £240 to £995 under proposals for a future selective licensing scheme. The proposed fee structure includes 12 different application categories, with reductions available for renewals, energy efficiency, blocks of flats, and landlord association membership.

Residents, tenants, and landlords are being asked to comment on three options for the scheme. The proposals are part of a consultation process regarding the future of citywide selective licensing in Liverpool.

Letting agents and inventory clerks operating in Liverpool should be aware of the potential changes to licensing fees and the various categories and reductions that may apply. The consultation invites feedback from all stakeholders before any final decisions are made.
