HMO register
Online applications unavailable in January
The property licence application portal will be unavailable from 16 to 29 January 2026. This is due to scheduled maintenance.
During this time, you will not be able to apply for a new licence online. Details about an alternative way to apply will be confirmed soon.
We maintain a register of licensed HMOs in the borough.
This contains the HMO licence number, address and the start and end date of the HMO.
Accessing the full register
If you also require the licence holder’s names and addresses, these details can only be disclosed as part of the full HMO register. The HMO owner’s names and addresses are personal data and cannot be disclosed.
The HMO register is produced from the database of licensed HMOs held by us. A report can be produced from the database and either posted to you as a paper copy or sent to you as a PDF version by email. It cannot be produced in Excel or CSV format.
Fees
We are authorised by the Housing Act 2004 (section 232) to recover our costs of producing and sending a copy of the HMO Register, and this cost is £50.
How to request a copy
If you decide that you require a copy of the HMO register, email your request to privatehousing@merton.gov.uk and we will contact you to advise on how you can make payment.
