FOI/EIR 26/27-329-HMOs

Copy of the current HMO Register

Request received 21 September 2026

Please can you supply a current copy of this register - or failing that, provide me with a breakdown of the number of HMO licences for each postcode sector (this includes the postcode area and the first number of the inward code e.g. xxx x) and the total occupancy limits of HMOs in each postcode area. (ideally I would have each individual HMO licence, but am happy for it to be aggregated if data considerations apply).

Can you please also tell me the number of active HMO licences for your area as of the start of Q3 (1 July) for the years 2023,2024, 2025, and 2026 - along with, if possible, the combined total occupancy limits.

Response due 19 October 2026
