Southampton Additional HMO Licensing Scheme

Southampton City Council have extended their Additional HMO Licensing Scheme to four more wards in the city – Bassett, Freemantle, Millbrook and Shirley. The scheme will be launched on Tuesday 20th October 2015.

Any property occupied by three or more people (including children) who form two or more households will require an HMO licence. This will include shared houses, bedsits, and some flats where there is some sharing of the kitchen and/or bathroom.

The council initially introduced the scheme back in July 2013 to four wards of the city - Bargate, Bevois, Swaythling and Portswood.
