Accordingly, by virtue of Section 58 subsections (1) (b) and (7) the designation need not be confirmed and will come into effect on a date specified in the Designation.

The Scheme will be effective from 1st February 2026 and unless revoked beforehand or extended will cease to have effect on 31st January 2031.

The Scheme shall be applied to all Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) within the area described above and will include properties that meet all of the criteria, within either one of the following two categories:

(a) Any type of HMO as defined by Section 254 of the Housing Act 2004 which does not fall within the mandatory licensing scheme, occupied by three or more persons, forming two or more households.

(b) HMO properties which are defined within the scope of Section 257 of the Housing Act 2004; HMO’s created by converting buildings into flats, but do not meet the 1991 Building Regulations and they have not been subsequently brought up to the relevant standards.

The Scheme shall not be applied to those properties exempted by relevant sections of the Act and those already licensed under the Mandatory Licensing of Houses in Multiple Occupation Scheme.

All landlords who own a property that fall under either one of the above criteria will have to apply for a licence. Fees and Conditions will be applicable to the Scheme.
