BANES - End of additional licensing scheme - outcome

ADDITIONAL licensing SCHEME

There’s no doubt that property licensing schemes are contentious. Local authorities will often argue that they are invaluable in terms of tackling poor standards in the private rented sector and result in improvements in the quality of rented accommodation. Landlords will often argue that they are nothing more than a cash generator and that they drive rent up for tenants.

BANES have recently completed a 5-year additional licensing scheme covering 3 & 4 bedroom HMOs across Bath city which included inspection and assessment of hundreds of properties.

Piotr Toporowski from BANES Housing Standards and Improvements Team will present their results and conclusions, along with the feedback from surveys conducted after the scheme ended.

Join us to find out how effective the scheme has been, what impact it is believed to have had on standards and make your own informed decision whether the scheme has achieved its objectives at a reasonable cost.
