Is Selective Licensing a Headache for Letting Agents? Here’s What You Need to Know!

Selective licensing is becoming a bigger issue for letting agents in 2025, and it’s something you can’t afford to ignore. In this episode, I’m joined by Des Taylor, the bossman of Landlord Licensing and Defence, to break down what’s changing and how it impacts your business.

With the recent changes to regulations, councils now have more freedom to apply selective licensing. This means more areas could be affected, and letting agents might not even realise the full implications until it’s too late. Des shares insights on the most common mistakes letting agents make when agreeing to licensing conditions and what could go wrong if they’re not careful.

It’s essential that you understand how these new rules can impact your properties and your responsibilities as an agent. If selective licensing comes to your area, Des advises on how you can make your voice heard during consultations and the steps you need to take to protect your business.

This isn’t just a legal matter—it could have serious financial and operational consequences. Don’t miss out on this important conversation.
