About this map
What a licence record holds
A council licenses a house in multiple occupation (HMO) and lists it on its public register. A record gives the licence type and status, when it started and when it expires, and, where the council publishes them, how many people and households it allows and the number of bedrooms and storeys. The card also lists the planning applications made at the address. No personal details are shown.
How the map works
Licensed shows the licences. Proposed shows planning applications to create, convert to, extend or change the use of an HMO, with their status. Zoomed out, licences group into clusters that open as you zoom in, and Density shades the map by how many licences fall in each area. Search a postcode, a town or a council to list what is there, and narrow the list with the filters.
Where the data comes from
Each licence comes from the council's own public register. Licence data from councils accounting for 94% of HMO licences in the latest available official statistics. How we measure coverage
