Selective Licencing on its way to Great Yarmouth From 1st April landlords in most of Great Yarmouth will have to apply for a licence to continue to rent their properties. The licence fee is £694 for both the council and Home Safe Scheme contributions and is per property not per landlord. This will leave some landlords with hefty bills if they have multiple properties! The scheme aims to drive up the standard of private let accommodation and follows on from a previous scheme that started in 2019 but covered the Nelson Ward only. Critics point towards the fact amongst other things that some landlords may raise their rents to cover this extra cost At present registrations are due to open from 1st April. There are some legal and other challenges still being discussed so watch this space for more updates.
