Ask Claude whether a property in England falls in a council's selective or additional HMO licensing scheme. The answer comes from HouseFile's records, each one checked against the council's own publications, with a link to the council's source and the date it was last verified.
Four tools, all read only: check_property_licensing takes a postcode, plus occupants and households if you have them. list_council_schemes gives a council's schemes in force, starting soon, proposed and recently ended. upcoming_licensing_changes shows what's starting or changing in the next few months. licensing_coverage lists the councils the records cover.
HouseFile has researched every council in England, and the records are re-checked every month. Where a council's position isn't settled yet, the answer says so and never takes a missing record to mean there's no scheme. Answers are general information and don't count as legal advice. Free, with no account.
