Liverpool licensing scheme: Extension to early bird discount

An ‘early bird’ discount offer for landlords to sign up to a new selective licensing scheme in Liverpool has been extended until 31 July.

The scheme was introduced in the city on 1st April 2022, and landlords with rental properties in the following wards are required to have a selective licence:

Central, Riverside, Greenbank, Kensington, Picton, Tuebrook & Stoneycroft, County, Anfield, St Michael’s, Princes Park, Kirkdale, Old Swan, Warbreck, Wavertree, Fazakerley and Everton.

How to apply

The deadline for landlords to apply and qualify for the early-bird discount was originally 30th June 2022. This has now been extended until the end of July. To apply for a licence, visit the Liverpool City Council’s webpage here.

More information about this extension can be read online here.

Liverpool City Council has confirmed that NRLA membership will entitle members impacted by the scheme to a discount on the licence.

In addition, members of the North West Property Association (NWPOA) also get a discount off the licence.

NRLA is affiliated with the NWPOA. To become an NWPOA member landlords have to join the NRLA and can do so here: https://www.nrla.org.uk/join/nwpoa.

Existing NRLA members would be entitled to the discount but can also call our membership team on 0300 131 6400 to have NWPOA linked to their existing NRLA account if they wish.
