Landlords win licensing reprieve

If it were a football match the score would read Landlords 1 The Council 0.

Attempts by Milton Keynes council has floundered in the face of strong opposition from landlords to the imposition of a city-wide licensing scheme.  We have spoken before about landlord licensing through the back door.

Under pressure the council has admitted it is abandoning plans to introduce a city wide scheme.  At the same time they are cutting the cost of the licensing fee on all HMOs by £500, reducing it from £800 to £300.

It looks like if we landlords shout loud enough even the Council is forced to listen.

We have already got a National Register. There is no need to create another one. It is difficult to monitor and it is just an excuse to raise money.
