In this article, you’ll learn:
What each section of the Quick Check report shows
How to interpret licensing requirements and scheme information
Where to find supporting guidance within the report
Property Summary
This section reflects the information entered into the Quick Check form.
It includes:
The property address
The number of people (if entered)
The number of households (if entered)
If occupancy details were included, the report results will be based on those figures.
Licence Alert
This section highlights the licensing requirement for the property.
If the number of people and households is known, it will state the type of licence required, if any
If occupancy details were not provided, it will state that a licence may be required
This is the headline outcome of the report.
Licence Schemes at this Address
This section lists all active licensing schemes covering the property’s location.
For each scheme, the report includes:
The scheme name
The start and end dates
A summary of the scheme criteria
This helps you understand why a licence may be required.
Future Schemes
This section lists licensing schemes that:
Cover the area in which the property is located
Have been announced by the local authority
Have not yet formally started
This allows you and your landlords to prepare in advance.
Planning Considerations
This section indicates whether the property falls within an area covered by an Article 4 direction.
An Article 4 direction means:
Planning permission is required to convert a property into a House in Multiple Occupation (HMO)
This is separate from licensing but often relevant for landlords.
Licence Determination Guide
