Landlords in Lambeth, South London, are likely to be captured by its selective licensing scheme, after councillors voted for its expansion.

The scheme will cover 23 of the 25 wards, costing landlords £923 for five years if they want to let a single-family household, or to two unrelated sharers.

It first launched in September, covering Knights Hill, Streatham Hill East, Streatham Common and Vale and Streatham St. Leonards wards.
