Luton's Selective and Additional HMO Licensing schemes are now live.
MyEstate Luton Limited can help landlords identify the correct licence, review their documents, inspect the property and prepare the application.
Luton's property licensing schemes cover different types of rented accommodation, so the first step for any landlord is confirming which scheme applies. If you need landlord licensing help in Luton, MyEstate can identify the correct licence for your property, tenancy structure and number of occupants before an application is started.
Selective Licensing applies to qualifying privately rented houses and flats located within Luton's designated Town Centre and Park Town areas.
It generally covers properties rented to:
A separate licence is normally required for each qualifying rented property or self-contained unit.
Luton's Additional HMO Licensing scheme applies across the whole borough.
It generally covers smaller HMOs occupied by three or four people forming more than one household who share facilities such as a kitchen, bathroom or toilet.
A property requiring an Additional HMO Licence should not also be submitted as a Selective Licensing application.
A Mandatory HMO Licence is generally required where a property is occupied by five or more people forming two or more households who share facilities.
Mandatory HMO Licensing applies throughout Luton.
If landlords are uncertain which category applies, MyEstate can review the property, tenancy structure and number of occupants before an application is started.
MyEstate provides fixed-fee selective licence application support in Luton, so landlords know exactly what our service costs before work begins.

The final HMO service fee will depend on the property size, number of bedrooms, number of occupants, existing documentation and whether an inspection, floor plan or fire-safety review is required.
MyEstate's professional service charge is separate from Luton Borough Council's licence fee.
Council application fees, certificates, floor plans, specialist reports, fire-risk assessments and remedial works are not included unless specifically confirmed in writing.
Licence approval cannot be guaranteed because the final decision remains with Luton Borough Council.
Landlords transferring their property to MyEstate's full-management service may qualify for a reduced or waived licence-application service charge, subject to the property passing our compliance review and the landlord entering into an agreed minimum management term.
Any reduced or waived application charge applies only to MyEstate's professional fee. The landlord remains responsible for all council fees, certificates, inspections, remedial works and third-party charges.
Depending on the property and licence type, landlords may need to provide:
MyEstate will identify what is missing and explain what needs to be obtained before the application progresses.
We review the address, property type, tenancy structure and number of occupants.
The landlord receives a property-specific list of the information and documents required.
We review the documentation and, where instructed, inspect the property.
We help prepare the application using the information provided by the landlord.
We support the submission process and assist with routine council enquiries relating to the application.

Richard Gedall MNAEA | AARLA and the MyEstate team understand that obtaining a licence is only the beginning. Landlords must continue complying with the licence conditions and their wider legal responsibilities throughout the tenancy.
No. Selective Licensing only applies to qualifying privately rented properties within the designated Town Centre and Park Town areas. HMOs may require an Additional or Mandatory HMO Licence instead.
Yes. The Additional HMO Licensing scheme applies across the whole borough to qualifying smaller HMOs.
It is generally required where five or more people forming two or more households occupy the property and share facilities.
No. We can review, prepare and support the application, but only Luton Borough Council can decide whether to issue a licence and what conditions will be attached.
We will identify the missing items and can help arrange quotations for certificates, inspections or other required work. Third-party charges are separate.
This may be considered where MyEstate is appointed to fully manage the property, but it must be agreed separately following a review of the property, tenancy and management responsibilities. It should never be presented as automatically included.
The council may inspect the property or request further information during the life of the licence. The landlord and licence holder must continue complying with all licence conditions after the application has been submitted.
If you own or manage a rental property in Luton, MyEstate can check which scheme applies and explain the next steps.
