• Check a property’s licensing

  check_property_licensing

  Looks up a postcode in England in HouseFile’s records of council licensing schemes and returns each scheme in force there, with its dates, fee, source link and the date the records were last verified, plus the national HMO rule. Schemes not in force yet are listed under upcoming. It works to postcode precision, so near a scheme’s edge it says so. Give occupants and households to settle the mandatory HMO test in England.

• Which councils are covered

  licensing_coverage

  Which councils HouseFile’s records cover: each council with published schemes, with how many, how many are in force and when they were last verified, and the councils checked and found to run none. Use it to tell the user honestly whether their area is covered, and list_council_schemes for one council’s detail.
