Questions about HMO licence application in Mansfield

Do HMOs in Mansfield need a fire risk assessment?

Fire safety law requires a fire risk assessment of the common parts of most HMOs, and councils commonly ask to see one with a licence application. We arrange the assessment and the works it recommends.

Private tenancies in England need an electrical installation condition report before the tenancy starts and at least every five years, and gas appliances need a safety check by a Gas Safe registered engineer every 12 months.

Who issues HMO licences in Mansfield?

Mansfield District Council is the licensing authority for Mansfield. We prepare the application and supporting documents, and the council decides whether to grant the licence and on what conditions.

How long does an HMO licence last?

A licence can last up to five years. Mansfield District Council may grant a shorter licence, for example where it has concerns about the property or the management.
