Application fees

The HMO licence fees cover the cost of administration and inspection. The fee is calculated based on the number of units available to let.  The Licence lasts for a period of 5 years.

Bromley only operates the Mandatory HMO Licensing Scheme. Please ensure that your property is licensable before applying, please see ‘what is a house in multiple occupation’

The fee is split into two parts, Part 1 licence administration fee and Part 2 licensing fee.

Part 1 of the fee is due at the time of submitting an application.

Part 2 of the fee is payable at the decision to grant a licence stage, you will receive a request to make this payment before the licence is granted.

A licence cannot be issued until the Part 2 fee has been paid.
