Large HMOs (House in Multiple Occupation) have historically had to have a licence if certain criteria are met (such as five or more individuals comprising two or more households residing in the property). However, the requirement to licence properties, even if they are not deemed large licensable HMOs, is becoming more and more common. Indeed, there are certain areas now which are subject to 'mandatory licensing' as well as 'selective' and 'additional' licensing.
If your property requires a property licence, and you have not obtained one, there can be very serious consequences, such as rent repayment orders or banning orders being made against you.
