1. May I request for a copy of the full HMO register including landlord's address for Wokingham?
This information exempt from disclosure under the FOI Act Section 21 - Information accessible by other means.

Requests to see the full HMO register are exempt from disclosure under FOI, due to the council’s obligations under section 232 of the Housing Act 2004 to someone who requested a copy of the HMO Register and paid the required fee.

The council would therefore advise that you email environmental.health@wokingham.gov.uk to arrange a viewing of the register or to request certified copies of the register as per your right to do so under the Housing Act 2004. The required fee for a copy of the register is £59, although there is no charge made to see the register online, providing no attempt is made to copy it.

In accordance with section 16(1) of the FOI Act, the council has a duty to provide advice and assistance to you, as far as it is reasonable to do so. Therefore, I would advise you that an extract of the HMO register is available on the council’s website with the premises address, date of issue and duration but with the personal data such as the licencees’ names and addresses not included. The website can be accessed here: https://www.wokingham.gov.uk/housing-and-tenants/private-housing/register-of-licensed-hmo/
