Incorrect applications
Please make sure you complete the application form correctly. If it's wrong or incomplete we may charge a £25 administration fee.
If you buy a property
If you buy a property in an area where selective licensing is already in operation you will be eligible for the cheaper rates - if you have evidence of the purchase date.
