Private rented sector selective licensing of residential properties continues apace with new licensing schemes set to start in Greenwich, London, on 1st October and in Leicester (which we reported on in July) on 10th October.

Landlords with properties in Greenwich can check whether their property is inside the licensing designation area and also find council contact details for seeking licensing advice and making an application for a selective licence in the council's selective licensing designation report.

landlords with properties in Leicester can find more information on the city's new selective licensing scheme and make applications for licences here.
