HMO Licensing Support
Navigating UK licensing schemes—mandatory, selective, and additional—can be overwhelming. At Yuno, our licensing support service simplifies the process. We provide expert guidance and end-to-end handling—from determining requirements, gathering documentation, preparing applications, to submitting them and managing deadlines.
What Our HMO Licensing Support Covers
Scheme Identification
Confirm whether your property falls under mandatory, selective, or additional licensing, including upcoming or changing schemes.
Application Preparation
Collate required evidence (floor plans, management details, safety certificates) and support document completion for submission.
Documentation, Certification & Audit Trail
All documentation and certification required is available to purchase and held central place for evidence, correspondence, and compliance records—ready for inspections
Submission & Liaison
Submit the application to the council and manage any follow-up—response, conditions, or clarification requests.

Track licence renewal dates, monitor attached conditions, and issue reminders well ahead of deadlines.
Consultative Advice
Navigate complex cases—like new licensing schemes or expanding use—backed by strategic guidance.
Planning Support — Navigate Planning with Confidence
Planning rules for HMOs, changes of use, and conversions are complex and highly location-dependent. Yuno’s Planning Support simplifies the process: we guide you from pre-application advice through to enforcement and appeals, ensuring you’re protected at every stage.
What Our Planning Support Covers
Use Class & Lawful Use Checks
Confirm whether your property’s current or proposed use (e.g., C3 to C4, Sui-Generis) is permitted—or whether a Certificate of Lawfulness is needed.
Article 4 & Prior Approval Risk Review
Identify if your property lies in an Article 4 area, meaning permitted development rights are withdrawn and planning permission is required—even for small HMOs.
Full Application Management
We handle the drafting, coordination, and submission of planning applications—coordinating D&A statements, layouts, supporting documents, and council liaison.
Appeals & Enforcement Advice
If your application is refused or enforcement is issued, we guide you through appeals, representations, or adjustments—keeping your project moving forward.
Condition & Permission Monitoring
Stay ahead of obligations—tracking planning conditions and ensuring reporting or timing requirements are met.
Portfolio-Level Scans for Investors & Agents
Bulk-screen multiple properties for planning risks—great for agents or landlords managing conversions or resale portfolios.
