Selective Licensing
Liverpool City Council actioned the selective licensing scheme from the 1st April 2015. The license has been made a legal requirement and landlords can face a fine of up to £20,000 if they have a rental property without a license and up to £5,000 for breaching the license terms. Belvoir Lettings West Derby have dedicated a lot of time ensuring all landlords are aware of the license requirements and ensuring all our managed properties are registered under the scheme and meet the license requirements. Here at Belvoir Lettings West Derby we offer a service were we can apply for the license on the landlords behalf. The license costs £400.00 & must be renewed every five years. The license is none transferable, which means if your letting agent is the license holder, you must then apply for a new license if you were to change managing agent.
CLASS accreditation scheme for landlords:
CLASS is a landlord accreditation scheme which gives public recognition for being a good landlord and a range of benefits otherwise not available. The scheme is not compulsory and landlords can choose whether to become a member of CLASS. To register your property under CLASS you will need the following valid certificates:-
- Energy Performance Certificate
- Landlord’s Gas Safety Certificate
- Electricity Certificate
- Benefits of the scheme include:
- Being publicly recognised as a good landlord.
- Properties owned by you will be given priority when the council offers contracts for housing provision.
- Improved access to council services via a landlord accreditation officer.
- Substantial discounts on licensing fees for houses in multiple occupancy or for accredited properties.
- If a landlord has a property that he registers for the CLASS accreditation scheme the license is then at a reduced cost of £200.00. The license was compulsory from 1st April 2015, and the first payment of £100.00 was to be made by this date. The full license cost must be paid by December 2015.
