North Lincolnshire Council has launched a Selective Licensing scheme for privately rented homes in designated areas of Scunthorpe.
Letting agents with clients who rent properties in the designated area must register with Home Safe, the scheme’s delivery partner, to enable them to be added to licence applications. Agent registration opens on 5 September.
To support this, this in-person event will provide clear, practical guidance on the scheme, including who is required to apply, what documentation is needed, and how agents can support their landlord clients in meeting the licensing obligations.
The session will cover:
- Overview of the licensing scheme and Home Safe’s role as the Delivery Partner
- Key scheme information relevant to agents
- Guidance on who should be the licence holder
- Agent registration process and step-by-step walkthrough
- Managing your agency account, including profile and dashboard features
- How agents interact with and support client applications
- Explanation of the licence holder application process, including when agents apply as licence holders
- Post-submission steps and ongoing compliance responsibilities
- Information on inspection programmes
- Q&A session
Places are limited and therefore a maximum of 2 persons per company will be allowed to book.
The information covered in this event is tailored for letting agents. Separate events for landlords, focusing on their specific requirements and processes, will be held on 30 September.
