Haringey Landlords – What does the Selective Licensing Scheme mean for you

As of 17th November 2022, the government have approved a Selective Licensing Scheme within the Borough of Haringey.

What this mean for Landlords

This will apply to homes that are let to a single family or two unrelated sharers and landlords will require a license from the council to legally let their properties.

This is clearly a massive shift in the lettings landscape for landlords in the Borough of Haringey and if you have a property that isn’t managed by us you will need to apply for a license and go through the application process.

Application Process:

Applications will open prior to the 17th November for “early application” which will provide landlords a discount from the usual £600.00 license fee to £350.00. Please note, the applications and process can be complex and time consuming with relative information needing to be provided. They are not open yet.

Unfortunately, non-compliance for the selective licensing scheme can be punishable of a fine of up to £30,000.00.

Once the application process is open our Property Management Team can complete the application for you, even if you don’t have your property managed by us. *admin fees apply. They can also help answer any questions, email: josh.haynes@davidastburys.com
