In this issue:
We are changing our HMO licensing fee structure from 1 October 2025. The fees will apply to new HMO applications that are submitted on or after 1 October 2025. Please see the new fee structure below. We have also updated our HMO policy which reflects the changes in fees.
Stage 1 fees for withdrawn applications are no longer refundable since 1 April 2022. However, we will continue to assess requests for refunds depending on specific circumstances on a case by case basis.
