Licensing schemes in Haringey

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.

Additional HMO licensing In force

Covers the whole council area, 17 Jun 2024 to 16 Jun 2029. Smaller HMOs (for example 3 or 4 sharers) need a licence here too.

Borough-wide.

Selective licensing In force

Covers 14 wards, 17 Nov 2022 to 16 Nov 2027. Every privately rented home in the area needs a licence, shared or not.

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

Haringey publishes its register as a search page rather than a file we can read: search Haringey's register by postcode.
