About the HMO Registration Scheme
The HMO Registration Scheme requires the payment of a fee on first registration of the house, and a payment on any renewal of the registration of half the fee which would then have been payable on a first registration of the house.
As each house shall be registered for occupation by a maximum number of occupants, a fee equivalent to £25 per year for each occupant shall be payable on first registration of a house.
Therefore, for a 5-year registration, the initial registration fee effective from 7th May 2009 is:
| No. of Occupants | Five year fee |
|---|---|
| 3 occupants | £375 |
| 4 occupants | £500 |
| 5 occupants | £625 |
| 6 occupants | £750 |
| 7 occupants | £875 |
| 8 occupants | £1,000 |
| 9 occupants | £1,125 |
| 10 occupants | £1,250 |
The fee is capped at the equivalent of 10 residents for each registered HMO. Fees must be paid in full prior to registration, or renewal of registration.
