What we check every day
Six changes we watch for at each saved address
Each morning we re-run the same postcode and address check you can use free on this site, against the latest data we hold for the council. If the result differs from the one you saved, you get one email with the council source linked.
| Change at the council | Example | Email you get |
|---|---|---|
| A new scheme is designated | Your council approves additional HMO licensing for the whole borough. | “New council licensing scheme found” |
| A scheme starts or ends | A confirmed selective scheme goes live, or a five-year designation expires. | “Council changed a scheme status” |
| Scheme dates move | The council renews a scheme with a new end date. | “Council changed scheme dates” |
| The area or street list changes | Two wards are added to a selective designation. | “Council changed a scheme area” |
| The licence fee changes | The published fee moves from £950 to £1,050. | “Council changed the licence fee” |
| The answer for your address changes | The property moves from no local scheme to a matched scheme. | “Licence result changed” |
Where the data comes from
Council licensing pages, designation notices, fee schedules, maps and public registers, re-read on a schedule. When a council page breaks or blocks us, we keep the last verified result and flag the source for review. A broken page never silently changes your answer.
What we do not check
How many people live in the property, whether you hold a licence, letters the council sends you, or planning rules such as Article 4 directions. We match the postcode to the council's ward list or designation map. Where that cannot decide, we say so rather than guess.
Compliance records
The dates, files and proof stay with the property
The dashboard shows what is current, due soon and expired across the portfolio. Each property carries its own items, documents and alert history.

Twelve item types with your own labels. Reminders at 90, 60, 30 and 14 days by default, editable per item, plus one notice when an item is overdue.
- Property licence expiry
- Gas safety certificate
- EICR
- EPC
- Fire risk assessment
- Fire alarm test
- Emergency lighting test
- Property inspection
- Legionella assessment
- Landlord insurance
- Licence condition
- Anything else, with your own label
Encrypted document store
PDF, JPG, PNG and WebP files up to 10 MB each, 250 MB per account. Encrypted at rest with AES-256. Upload a new version and the older one stays on record.
Evidence when the council asks
Download a plain property summary, or an evidence ZIP with every document version, the compliance list and the council result. Export the whole portfolio to CSV, or import one with a row-by-row preview.
How it compares
A reminder app only knows the dates you type in
HMO compliance apps track certificates well. None of them check whether your council has just designated your street. Landlord Pro does both.
| Feature | Spreadsheet and calendar | HMO compliance apps | Landlord Pro |
|---|---|---|---|
| Checks the council licensing rules for the exact address | No | No | Every day |
| Alert when a scheme starts, ends, changes area or fee | No | No | Yes |
| Council source link in every alert | No | No | Yes |
| Covers every English council | No | No | 296 councils |
| Certificate and licence date reminders | Manual | Yes | 90, 60, 30, 14 days plus overdue |
| Encrypted document store with version history | No | Yes | Yes |
| Evidence pack for a council inspection | Manual | Yes | ZIP with council result |
| CSV import and export | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Price for 10 properties | Free | £29 a month | £12 a month, paid yearly |
Competitor pricing is the published rate for a plan covering 10 properties on 2 September 2026.

Questions landlords ask before paying
Does the address prove that I need a licence?
It proves the council and whether a scheme covers the whole council, the postcode or the named street. Occupier count, households, property type and exemptions still decide the final answer. We show what the address proves and what you must confirm.
What if the scheme is drawn on a ward map?
We look up the postcode's ward and test it against the council's ward list, or against the ward boundary the council used when it designated the scheme. When neither can decide, we say so and link the council map rather than guess.
Where does the licensing data come from?
Council pages, designation notices, fee schedules, maps and registers for every English council. Each result and each alert links the council source so you can check it before you apply or pay a fee.
What happens if a council page fails?
We keep the last verified result and flag the source for review. A broken page does not replace good data, and your daily check still runs against the last verified data.
Is there a free trial?
No trial. The property check is free and unlimited, signed in or not. You pay when you want the address saved and watched every day. UK consumers can cancel within 14 days for a full refund.
Do you cover Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland?
Not yet. Landlord Pro monitors properties in England only.
Can I cancel online?
Yes. Manage or cancel the plan from your account. Access continues until the end of the paid period.
