Before you apply for a licence
- Confirm the category for each address on the council page.
- Read the licence conditions for that category. They commonly refer to gas, electrical and fire safety.
- Check certificate dates so nothing expires mid-application. Our compliance calendar shows usual renewal intervals.
- Group the work by address so one visit can cover several checks. See our landlord compliance packs.
