Salford HMO Licensing — What Your Council Requires

Salford has a large and growing HMO market driven by the University of Salford, MediaCityUK, and a significant professional rental sector adjacent to Manchester. Salford City Council operates mandatory HMO licensing and has run selective licensing schemes across much of the city. Greater Manchester Fire & Rescue Service supports compliance.

  • Mandatory HMO licensing for properties with 5+ occupants in 2+ households
  • Selective licensing has operated in many Salford wards — requiring licences for all privately rented properties in designated areas
  • University of Salford and MediaCityUK drive both student and professional HMO demand
  • Greater Manchester Fire & Rescue Service works with Salford City Council on HMO fire safety
  • FRASafe's BS 9792:2025-aligned report is accepted by Salford City Council for licensing purposes
