Discount for Part 2 HMO Licence Application:

£100.00 discount is available on the standard Part 2 fee for a fully complete HMO licence application submitted. This will be applied where we have not had to follow up or chase any documents in relation to the HMO application submitted, whether missing, incomplete or part complete.

For an application to be considered fully complete, we must have received all documents listed on the online application page. Documents need to be in good, legible and complete order.

Where a valid fully complete ‘renewal’ application is received after the expiry date of the existing licence, the discount will not be applied as this is a late application.
