For landlords

Need a property licence? We will handle the entire application.

Property licensing means council rules that differ everywhere, paperwork and hours of admin. Kamma's licensing specialists manage your application from start to finish, so you do not have to.

How it works

Property licensing without the paperwork

Every council has its own rules, forms and requirements. An application that goes in wrong means delays and more admin. Kamma takes the process off your hands.

1

We work out what is required

Our licensing specialists confirm what the application needs and which documents the council will ask for.

2

We collect the paperwork

We tell you exactly what we need and help gather the documents for your application.

3

We complete and submit

Our team prepares the application, checks it against the council's requirements and submits it for you.

4

We deal with the council

Questions, follow-ups and progress chasing are handled by our team.

5

We see it through

We monitor your application and keep you posted until the licence is granted.

Why hand it over

You could manage the application yourself. You do not have to.

Save hours of admin

No council websites to navigate, no lengthy forms to complete, no progress to chase.

Fewer costly mistakes

The team checks the application against what the council asks for, rather than leaving you to work it out from their website.

One team from start to finish

Rather than working out who to contact at the council, Kamma runs the process for you.

What's involved

You give us the basics. We take it from there.

It varies by scheme, but commonly proof of address, tenancy agreements, EICRs, gas safety certificates and property details. We confirm exactly what your application needs.

What happens if I am missing a document?

We will tell you what is missing and help you get the application ready, then follow up on anything outstanding.

Does Kamma deal directly with the council?

Yes. We handle council correspondence, follow-ups and progress chasing, and keep you posted throughout.

Which licence types can you apply for?

Selective, additional HMO and mandatory HMO licence applications.

Can you help if I own several properties?
