Additional licensing in Leicester City Council

βœ“ No additional scheme found

Researched with no evidence of a live scheme. Licensing status changes on a weeks-to-months cadence, not annually β€” this is why we date every page.

Need to actually apply? We'll prepare the whole application.

This scheme is already live β€” an unlicensed property in a designated area is an offence now, not later.

Leicester City Council's selective scheme only covers designated wards, not the whole authority β€” so the first question is whether your specific address is actually in one. We check that against ONS ward data for your postcode, not a guess from the council name.

Our Licence Application Pack works out exactly which scheme covers your specific address, the real fee breakdown and discounts you can claim, every document the council's own form asks for, and the submission link and deadline β€” delivered as one dated, ready-to-submit pack.

Β£149 one-off. The NRLA, the UK's largest landlord association, resells done-for-you licence application handling through a partner at Β£295–£425 + VAT per application.
