Southend Council Consults on New Selective Licensing Scheme
Southend Council has launched a consultation on proposals for a new selective licensing scheme, which it says will improve standards in privately rented homes. The existing scheme began in 2021 and covers designated neighbourhoods within Milton, Kursaal, Victoria and Chalkwell wards.
The headline reports a three-month gap in the selective licensing scheme. The source does not provide further detail on the cause or impact of that gap.
For letting agents and inventory clerks in the private rented sector, the consultation is a chance to feed into proposals that could affect licensing requirements in the designated wards. The source does not state the consultation period, the proposed scope of any new scheme, or the date the existing scheme is due to end.
Agents and clerks with properties in the affected wards may wish to review the original report for full details.
