Response
The information requested is already publically available and can be independently sourced
from the Local Authority’s electronic online Property Licensing Register.
For your reference, please see the relevant web link below.
https://pa.newham.gov.uk/online-
applications/search.do?action=simple&searchType=LicencingApplication
It should be noted that the HMO register provides the name and correspondence address of
the licence holder, which is not always the same as the property owner.
This register includes the addresses and postcodes for all HMO licensed properties in the
borough. You may search by address of individual properties, or by entering wards or the
relevant postcode in the search options. The recovery of these entries will enable you to
compile the information you require.
To provide a list of the properties together with the additional information included on the
online portal, there would be a significant charge as well as having to remove some personal
details. There is no charge for using the online register however if you require information
outside of this format this would be charged at per record provided.
Should you require any further information please see the web link below:

If you require any further information or are not happy with our response please do not
hesitate to contact a member of our team on (020) 8430 2000 or email us at
