UK HMO Licensing Application Form

Applying for an HMO (House in Multiple Occupation) licence in the UK involves meeting strict regulatory standards set by your local council. This UK HMO Licensing Application Form template is designed for landlords, property managers, and letting agents who need to submit a complete, compliant application for mandatory or additional HMO licensing.

The form guides applicants through every requirement—from property ownership and management details to room dimensions, fire safety measures, waste management arrangements, and amenity provision. By capturing all necessary information upfront, you reduce the risk of delays, requests for additional documentation, or application rejection.

Paperform makes HMO licensing simpler. The doc-style editor lets you customise questions to match your local authority's specific requirements, add conditional logic to show or hide sections based on property type, and include file upload fields for supporting documents like gas safety certificates, electrical inspection reports, floor plans, and proof of ownership. You can embed the form on your property management website or share it directly with landlords via a branded link.

For property professionals managing multiple HMO applications, Stepper (stepper.io) can automate what happens after submission—create a task in your project management tool, notify your fire safety contractor, update your CRM with application status, and send reminders for missing documents. If you need signed declarations or management agreements as part of the application, Papersign (papersign.com) lets you turn submissions into legally binding eSignature requests, keeping everything connected and audit-ready.

Whether you're a letting agency handling dozens of HMO applications each year or a landlord submitting your first licence application, this template helps you meet UK housing standards with confidence and professionalism.
