1 story · 1 council

Wandsworth Council is expanding its selective property licensing scheme to improve housing standards.

Wandsworth Council decided in December 2025 to expand its selective property licensing scheme, which outlines conditions for landlords in designated areas. This initiative aims to improve housing standards and living conditions for tenants by requiring landlords to obtain a license and meet specific standards. The specific areas and standards are detailed in the Draft Designation of Selective Licensing Conditions.

The council's Cabinet approved the 'Property Licensing - Phase 2 Expansion of Selective Licensing' at a meeting on 1 December 2025. This expansion requires landlords in designated areas to obtain a license to rent out their properties. No further council discussions or decisions on this topic are currently scheduled.
