Rich in culture & history and famed for its arts scene, excellent shopping and festivals, Brighton boasts an array of attractions, including a multitude of museums, historical sites, cinemas, cafes/restaurants and a vibrant nightlife. Some of the city’s most renowned landmark include the famous Brighton Palace Pier, the Royal Pavilion, British Airways’ i360 Observation Tower and the Jubilee Clock Tower.

As such, the city’s population encompasses large numbers of students and professionals seeking shared – or HMO – accommodation. This demand is covered by an ever-growing number of HMO landlords, many of whom are new to HMO licensing due to the legislation changes first introduced in October 2018 – which resulted in approximately 177,000 more HMOs becoming licensable across the UK than under previous rules and regulations.

HMO Licensing Brighton

HMO licensing legislation now stipulates that landlords must license their properties (obtaining a separate licence for each HMO property owned) if there are 5 tenants or more living within said properties as two or more households (learn more at Gov.UK)

Within Brighton & Hove (incl. Portslade), licences may also be required if a property has two storeys* or more and three tenants or more are living within said properties as two or more households.

*A storey is defined as part of any property consisting of all rooms on any given level – including basements and attics – if said rooms are used as living accommodation. A bungalow would, for example, be classed as a single-storey property.
