What are the HMO licence requirements in Luton?

Mandatory licensing applies where a property is occupied as an HMO and meets the threshold for England — typically five or more people forming two or more households who share facilities. You must meet management, fire safety, amenity, and room-size conditions as part of the application. Use our HMO licence checker for a first pass, then confirm with the council before letting or purchasing.

Does Luton have additional or selective licensing?

Luton is listed as operating mandatory HMO licensing only. Additional or selective schemes can be introduced later; the council must consult before designating new areas. Check the official HMO licensing section on the council website for any announcements.

How do I apply for an HMO licence in Luton?

Applications are made directly to Luton, not through AgentHMO. You will usually need property details, floor plans, fire-risk information, and details of the licence holder or manager. Pay the council fee at application or as instructed — the key figures table shows the published mandatory fee where we have it, but always confirm the latest amount on the council site. Allow several weeks to months for processing, especially for new licences or properties that need works to meet conditions.
