We check the application and supporting documents before submission.

Common questions
Questions about selective licence applications
Once your invoice is settled and we have all the required documents, our team will get to work submitting your application. Council processing times vary and are outside our control, but we monitor the application and respond to any queries throughout."
We handle selective licence applications UK-wide. If you're not sure whether a property falls within a designated selective licensing area, use our property licence checker before instructing us.
No. Our applications service is a standalone service, so you don't need a Kamma Suite or Quick Check subscription. That said, many of our applications customers find Kamma Suite useful for keeping the rest of their portfolio compliant after a licence is in place.
The council fee is paid by Kamma on the landlord's behalf as part of the service. Council fees vary by council and licence type, and the exact amount will be confirmed before submission. It is collected as part of the application process.
If you're managing a large number of applications, we can provide discounted pricing and a tailored service to suit your portfolio. Speak to our team to discuss your requirements.
We charge a flat fee per application. Many letting agents choose to recharge landlords at a higher rate, creating an additional revenue stream without adding extra admin for their team.
For growing portfolios
Never miss a licensing requirement again.
Kamma Suite continuously monitors your portfolio against licensing schemes across the UK, showing you which properties need attention before they become a compliance problem.
