Proposal for a variation of existing HMO licence conditions by consent

A variation is applicable:

• To change to the licence holders' address
• Where the current licence holder has changed their name (e.g. due to marriage)
• To request increase / decrease in occupant or household number
• To change any existing conditions, including requesting additional time to undertake work

A variation is not applicable to change the licence holder from one person to another. This requires a new application. Licences are not transferable.

The authority may either grant or refuse the variation request. If the variation is refused, there is a right of appeal to the First-tier Tribunal.

Fee: There is no application fee for a variation.

Public Register: Each Licence must be listed in the Register of HMO Licences, which is available for inspection by the public at all reasonable times. It includes your name and address.
