Private Housing

Category Items

  • Empty Homes

  • Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMO) - Licensing

    The council operates an HMO Licensing scheme as required by the Housing Act 2004. Any HMO that is in a building of three storeys or more and that has five or more occupants must be licensed.

  • Housing advice - existing private tenancy

    The vast majority of landlords are responsible and fair. In the unlikely event of you experiencing trouble with your landlord, the council may be able to help.

  • Private Landlords Forum

    As part of the Councils ongoing Private Housing Strategy we host a Private Landlords Forum which meets once a quarter to raise and discuss issues that affect both Private Landlords and the Council.

  • Purchasing the freehold of your house

    Owning a leasehold property means you own the building but not the land it is built on. The freeholder owns the land and you pay ground rent.
