check_property_licensing | Looks up a postcode in England in HouseFile’s records of council licensing schemes and returns each scheme in force there, with its dates, fee, source link and the date the records were last verified, plus the national HMO rule. Schemes not in force yet are listed under upcoming. It works to postcode precision, so near a scheme’s edge it says so. Give occupants and households to settle the mandato params: postcode*, address_line, occupants, households, as_of_date |
list_council_schemes | Lists a council’s licensing schemes from HouseFile’s records: in force, starting soon, proposed, and ended in the last 12 months, each with its area, dates, fee, source link and last verified date. Takes a council name, part of a name or a GSS code. If several councils match, it returns them to choose from. params: council* |
upcoming_licensing_changes | What’s coming: schemes proposed or starting soon, and recent changes to schemes in HouseFile’s records (started, ended, fee, dates or area changed), newest first. Optionally for one council, and for a number of months ahead and back (6 by default, at most 24). For all councils the lists stop at the 15 soonest schemes and the 10 latest changes, with the totals; ask for one council to see all of its params: council, within_months |
licensing_coverage | Which councils HouseFile’s records cover: each council with published schemes, with how many, how many are in force and when they were last verified, and the councils checked and found to run none. Use it to tell the user honestly whether their area is covered, and list_council_schemes for one council’s detail. params: none |
