Landlord guide to letting in Salford

Salford combines mandatory HMO licensing with additional and selective licensing across a number of inner-city wards.

Overview

Salford combines mandatory HMO licensing with additional and selective licensing across a number of inner-city wards.

Licensing

Check the exact ward as designations vary significantly across the city, including around MediaCityUK and the universities.

Regeneration areas

New-build apartment schemes sit alongside older terraced HMO stock, each with different compliance needs.

Compliance

Keep an EICR, gas certificate and licence in place, as the council runs an active proactive enforcement programme.

Councils covered

Local rules change frequently. Always confirm licensing designations and fees with the council for the exact address before letting. This guide is general information, not legal advice.
