Refunds
We will give a full refund for an HMO property licence application if it was made by mistake. For example, where:
- there was a duplicate application for the same property
- the property was not an HMO that needed to be licensed
We will not give you a refund if:
- you withdraw your application at any stage
- we refuse your application
- we revoke (take away) your licence
- you are subsequently refused planning permission for your HMO
- your property ceases to be let as an HMO during the term of the licence
