Licensing support, start to finish
Yuno handles the full licensing process: identifying which licences a property or portfolio needs, submitting the application, and monitoring it afterwards, backed by CIEH-accredited Environmental Health Officers, not guesswork.
Why licensing needs active management
Licensing requirements vary by council, by property type, and by occupancy, and they change over time. They can also overlap with planning requirements, so a property can need both a licence and planning permission before it's genuinely compliant. Missing a requirement or a renewal date carries real enforcement and financial risk, which is why licensing needs to be actively managed, not left to chance.

Licensing and planning often overlap
A property can need both a licence and planning permission. For example, an Article 4 Direction can mean a change to HMO use needs full planning permission before a licence is even relevant. Yuno checks both.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Questions you might have
Can Yuno manage a licence application?
Yes. Yuno can manage a licence application. Yuno's licensing support goes beyond spotting that a licence may be required: it supports the process from identifying the requirement and establishing what information is needed, through to the application and ongoing compliance monitoring/alerting, along with upgrading the property to compliance end-to-end. See Licensing Support
What happens after a property licence is granted?
Receiving the licence isn't necessarily the end of the compliance process. Licence conditions may need to be met, and the requirement may need monitoring through the licence period and eventual renewal.
The council may also come out to the property at any time and enforce further conditions to upgrade the property.
Yuno can track ongoing requirements and renewal dates across individual properties or a whole portfolio. See Licensing Support
Can a property licence be transferred to a new owner or licence holder?
No, property licences are attached to the relevant licence holder and property circumstances, and should not be assumed to transfer automatically when ownership or responsibility changes.
Where circumstances change, the licensing position should be checked and a new application may be required. See Licensing Support
Does Yuno cover England, Scotland and Wales?
Yes. Yuno's licensing support covers licensing schemes run by councils across England, Scotland and Wales, including Mandatory HMO Licensing, Additional HMO Licensing, Selective Licensing and short-term let licensing as councils introduce their own local schemes. See Licensing Support
