Why use the property licence checker?
With so many active property licensing schemes, it's hard to keep on top of the compliance status of your portfolio.
Kamma's checker covers any property across the UK & Wales. Our technology tracks licensing schemes nationwide and generates a report built for agents to understand the requirements for any of their HMO properties.
Unlike tools limited to London, such as the Mayor of London checker, Kamma's licence checker is built for letting agents nationwide. Complete the form above to stay ahead of the curve and avoid fines of up to £30,000.
"Kamma has dramatically reduced the time our team spends on licensing compliance, saving hundreds of hours per month with automated enquiries."

A quick guide for letting agents & landlords.
Check if it falls in a licensing area
Use Kamma's checker to instantly determine whether your property falls within a licensing scheme (HMO, selective or additional).
Verify current licence status
If licensing is required, check whether it's already licensed via the council's public register — or run a full compliance check with Kamma.
Submit your application
If a licence is needed but missing, submit your application to the relevant council promptly to avoid penalties.
The Full Kamma Suite
Beyond basic checks, Kamma offers comprehensive protection.
HMO licensing fines are on the rise
With increasing enforcement and evolving legislation, landlords and agents face greater compliance risk than ever before.
London fines
Kamma's rogue-landlord database shows over £19.6m in fines for London alone.
Easier implementation
Government approval is no longer needed for selective schemes covering over 20% of a region.
Licensing revenue
The top 50 councils have generated over £327m in licensing revenue from fees.
Extended penalties
The Renters' Rights Bill extends the maximum duration of rent-repayment orders.
Around-the-clock compliance is essential
For agents and surveyors handling HMOs across multiple regions, staying ahead of ever-changing regulations isn't optional — it's essential to avoid rising penalties.
