check_address

Use when someone asks what applies to a rented home at a postcode in England. Returns whether a council property licence is needed for the household type, the council's licensing schemes, the planned landlord register window, flood zone and conservation area, each with its source, and councilPage, Lettance's page for that council. Read-only. England only; a council we have not researched yet says so instead of guessing. Information, not legal advice.
