Licensing Law in Nationwide: Your Questions Answered
Do I need a licence to operate an HMO in Nationwide?
A: In most cases, yes. A House in Multiple Occupation with five or more occupants forming two or more separate households requires a mandatory HMO licence. Some local councils also operate additional or selective licensing schemes that apply to smaller properties. Our solicitors can advise on what applies to your property.
What happens if my HMO licence is refused or revoked?
A: If your HMO licence is refused or revoked, you have the right to appeal the decision. Acting quickly is essential as there are strict deadlines for appeals. We represent landlords in HMO licensing appeals and can also advise on defending council enforcement action where a breach has been alleged.
Can you help with taxi licence applications and appeals in Nationwide?
A: Yes. We assist with all types of taxi and private hire licensing matters including new applications, renewals, appeals against refusal, and defending licence revocation proceedings.
What should I do if my alcohol licence is being reviewed?
A: A premises licence review is a serious matter that can result in conditions being added to your licence, a reduction in your licensed hours, or revocation of the licence entirely. You should seek legal advice immediately. We represent licence holders at review hearings and work to protect your licence and your business.
