Nottingham Licensing increased to a whopping £890!
by Mick Roberts
For Landlords who don’t already know Nottingham Council has increased its licensing fee to a whopping £890 and tenants you really need to start standing up and shouting! There will be no houses left to rent soon.
They are charging £890 per house and an inspection only costs £77 and out of 32,000 houses they have only inspected 176.
Who’s paying for this? Tenants of course.
What have they done to deserve this if they already have a good house?
All of us landlords would support licensing if they inspected the houses. This not in the know would be horrified if they knew what the council was doing or not doing with the money that tenants have had to fork out for this. Meanwhile the actual criminal landlords haven’t come forward obviously.

The License fee is £890. Accreditation I believe has just gone up to £690.
You probably will have to have inspection if go for accreditation. Then do the sums if paying for inspection is worth it.
You should really join EMPO, Nottingham Landlord association who will guide u.
