Landlords in Reading: local licensing
- A borough-wide additional licensing scheme for smaller HMOs (typically three or four occupants not already covered by mandatory licensing) took effect on 1 March 2026.
- Larger HMOs continue to need a mandatory licence, and the council has also been planning selective licensing in specific areas.
- Licence applications and conditions commonly require evidence that the electrical installation is safe — a current, satisfactory EICR is the usual way to show this.
- Check the council's licensing pages for the current scope, fees and conditions before letting.
