Licensing schemes in Bromley

Mandatory HMO licensing In force everywhere

Applies everywhere in England: a house or flat shared by 5 or more people from 2 or more households needs a licence.

No additional or selective licensing scheme was in force in Bromley when we last checked (17 Oct 2026). Only mandatory HMO licensing applies.

Scheme details were checked on 17 Oct 2026 from the council's own pages; whether a part-borough scheme covers a particular postcode comes from the Greater London Authority's licence-area map when you check an address. Schemes start, end and get renewed; the council's page is the current word.

The council's register

We haven't found Bromley's register online. The council's private housing team can confirm whether an address is licensed (Housing Act 2004 s.232 requires a public register).

Ending soon

None of the additional or selective schemes we hold for Bromley ends in the next six months.
