Renewing your licence
You must renew your licence before it expires. It is the licence holder’s responsibility to ensure a valid renewal application is submitted on time. While we aim to send a reminder approximately two months before your licence expiry, this should not be relied upon.
All HMO licences require completion of a valid renewal application before the current licence expires. Late renewal submissions will be rejected, and a new application will be required. In rare cases where a late application is accepted, it will only be eligible for a 1-year licence.
A valid licence renewal means:
- A completed renewal form
- Payment of the required fee
- A signed and returned declaration
We will issue your licence based on the information and documents provided at the time of application.
Renewals must be for the same licence length as your current licence. For example, if you hold a 2-year licence and wish to continue with the same term, you may submit a renewal. However, if you wish to apply for a longer term (e.g. from 2 years to 5 years), you must submit a new application.
