Statutory Exemptions as per Schedule 14 of 2004 HA. Law/Legal interpretation.

[Thunderfeet_1999]

I have a three bed ex local authority purpose built flat with 5 occupiers. As per government guidelines it's exempt from mandatory licensing. The borough has introduced additional licensing and I want to find out whether the statutory exemption to buildings managed by local authorities applies as my...

Im not sure why you are suprised by that, but then again I'm not sure of your property history with flats of this nature in this borough. I hazard that it's not much.

Thank you Leaseholder for coming back to me. My only query is the statutory exemptions. Scedule 14 of the 2004 housing act states that buildings with la managing and controlling are exempt. I guess this would make sense as the council aren't going to want to pay for licenses for all the units that they...

[Thunderfeet_1999]

Ok, so just for clarification I have a wired in alarm system, emergency lighting system, approved fire resistant doors, extinguishers, blankets and everything else in place to meet hmo regulations.

my question is which and if a license is applicable. My understanding is that on purpose...
