The Need for a Property Licence Checker:
Managing properties in the UK can be a labyrinthine task, fraught with complex regulations and the ever-present risk of non-compliance. Licensing schemes, in particular, are growing in number in the UK and proving to be a significant hurdle to navigate for many landlords and property managers. Not only do such schemes vary considerably in scope, application and requirements across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, but they often differ at local authority/council area too.
The growing list of such schemes both at national and local level, along with the fact that many of these schemes are only approved for limited periods of time – and therefore constantly changing – means uncertainty is something that keeps rearing its ugly head. The need for sound guidance and support is more crucial than ever.
