Dear Ayan Mohamud

Request FOI/11205

Further to your request received on 25/11/2024, I confirm that the Council
has now considered your request under the Freedom of Information Act
2000. Specifically, you have requested the following information:

I would like to request the following:

1. A list of all landlords and property agents registered on the councils
licensing database, including any selective, additional, or mandatory HMO
licensing schemes.
2. The associated addresses or details of the properties covered by these
licenses.
3. The type of license held for each property (e.g., HMO, selective
licensing).
4. The Companies House registration number for each company listed as a
landlord or property agent.

The information requested in relation to questions 1,2 and 3 for the
licensed / registered houses in multiple occupation is available in
summary version using a link on the Council’s webpages.

This information is therefore exempt from Croydon Council under Section 21
of the Freedom of Information Act 2000, ‘Information reasonably accessible
to the applicant by other means’. Section 21 is an absolute exemption and
therefore does not require the public interests balancing test to be
applied.

For a copy of the full list, such as a paper copy to be posted or an
electronic copy emailed, then there is a charge. The charge payable is
£54. This is taken before the service is provided.

For further information on the list of licensed HMOs and accessing it
please us this link:

A list of the fees and charges approved at Cabinet in December 2023 is
available using this link:
[2]https://democracy.croydon.gov.uk/documen...

Question four asks for the companies house registration number for each
company registered and listed as a landlord or property agent. To find
this information, please refer to the companies house website that
provides this information:

The Council publishes Access to Information requests and responses on its
online Disclosure Log. (Any request included within this log will be
anonymised appropriately)

To view the Council’s Disclosure Log, please visit our website available

If you are dissatisfied with the way the Council has handled your request
under the Freedom of Information Act, you may ask for an internal review.
This should be submitted to us within 40 working days of this response.
You can do this by outlining the details of your complaint by:
