Letting in Brent: selective and additional licensing
Brent’s selective licensing covers privately rented homes occupied by a single household or no more than two unrelated people. The first designation started on 1 August 2023 in Harlesden & Kensal Green, Dollis Hill and Willesden Green. The second started on 1 April 2024 and covers the other 18 wards except Wembley Park. Each lasts five years.
An additional licence, for homes occupied by three or four people from two or more households, started on 2 February 2026. A selective licence costs £640: £340 on application and £300 on grant.
Brent Council, property licensing, checked 24/10/2026.
The EPC and room sizes a Brent licence application asks for
Brent’s application asks you to upload the current Energy Performance Certificate with a rating between A and E, unless a valid exemption is in place, as well as a gas safety certificate.
For a mandatory or additional licence it also asks for the size of every room in square metres and the location and description of the rooms. We draw laser-measured floor plans and can measure on the same visit as the EPC, so say if the work is for an HMO application.

Homes in Brent
Why homes in Brent rate as they do
Kilburn, Willesden and Harlesden are Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many split into flats or let by the room. Kingsbury, Kenton and Queensbury are interwar semis. Wembley Park has been rebuilt as a cluster of towers over the last decade.
For a terrace or a converted house, the walls, the loft and the heating system are what the assessor records. For a Wembley Park apartment, the communal system and the metering matter more than the fabric. A rental needs the certificate before it can be licensed, so book ahead of the application.
35.7% of Brent’s certificates are for homes built between 1930 and 1966, against 32.9% across London, and 56.6% record solid walls with no added insulation, against 48.1%. Flats and maisonettes are 67.3% of the total.
| Recorded on the certificate | Brent | London |
|---|---|---|
| Built before 1930 | 33.3% | 31.3% |
| Solid walls, no added insulation | 56.6% | 48.1% |
| Cavity walls, insulated | 19.2% | 24.4% |
| Mains gas boiler | 77.0% | 76.2% |
| Communal heating | 11.2% | 10.8% |
| Electric heating | 11.2% | 12.2% |
On 91.6% of the certificates rated D or lower, the potential rating (every recommendation carried out) is C or better.

Queen’s Park is rows of two and three-storey Victorian and Edwardian terraces. Kilburn is wholly Victorian, mostly three-storey terraces. Sudbury Court was laid out from 1925 to Garden Suburb principles. Roe Green Village is a garden-city style estate planned in 1916, with construction from 1918.
All of Brent’s residential conservation areas are covered by Article 4 directions, and exterior cladding needs planning permission in a conservation area. Brent has one Grade I, nine Grade II* and around 200 Grade II listed buildings. A separate direction, in effect since 1 November 2022, requires planning permission to change a dwelling to a small house in multiple occupation.

Questions
EPC questions for Brent
Does my Brent rental need a licence?
If it is let to one household or no more than two unrelated people, yes, in every ward except Wembley Park. Homes with three or four people from two or more households need an additional licence, which started on 2 February 2026. Five or more need a mandatory HMO licence.
Do I need an EPC for a Brent licence?
Yes. The application asks you to upload a current EPC with a rating between A and E, unless a valid exemption is in place. A rating of F or G needs work first, or an exemption.
Do you cover Wembley Park and the towers?
Yes, at the same price as the rest of London. For a flat in a managed block, tell us the concierge or entry arrangements when you book. Wembley Park is the one ward outside Brent’s selective licensing.
Do I need planning permission to turn a Brent house into a small HMO?
Brent’s Article 4 page says a direction in effect since 1 November 2022 requires planning permission for a change of use from a dwelling (Class C3) to a small house in multiple occupation (Class C4). That is separate from the licence.
Which Brent postcodes rate lowest?
Of the districts with enough certificates to compare, HA3 has the lowest share rated A to C at 51.0%, from 1,107 certificates, and HA8 the highest at 69.8%. The table above has every district.
