Frequently asked questions

What does the England coverage map show?

The map shows where public overviews are already live, where address checks are available, and where wider public coverage is still being added.

Can the map tell me whether my specific property needs a licence?

Not on its own. The map shows council coverage. To answer whether a specific property needs a licence, check the address and review the council evidence there.

Need the answer for one property?

Run an address check to see which schemes apply, the council evidence behind the answer, and the latest review date.

Why do some councils show a public overview while others show property checks only?

Some councils already have a live public guide. In others, address checks are available before the broader council page is ready.

What licensing schemes are included on the map?

The map tracks the main licensing routes used in England's private rented sector, including mandatory HMO licensing, additional licensing, and selective licensing where active schemes exist.
