evidence: The chair of the Landlords Association for Northern Ireland (LANI), Robert Greer, claimed during an interview on BBC Radio Ulster’s Good Morning Ulster (24/9/2020, starts 1:52:08, and Greer’s claim at 1:58:00) that "aside from the Roma community, about 95 or 98 per cent of all households [in the Holylands] are HMOs." [...] Applying our defined geography for the Holylands, we used the Post Office’s Postcode Finder and searched Belfast City Council’s HMO License Register. The number of domestic properties was derived from the valuation list held by the Department of Finance. We calculated an estimated 45% of domestic properties in the Holylands are licensed as HMOs. FactCheckNI counted 798 HMO licenses for 1,783 domestic properties in the Holylands. [...] The Holylands and its contemporary geography is part of a larger area for which Belfast City Council took over responsibility to license HMOs from the Housing Executive. Recent figures now exclude social housing properties, which partly explains a decrease in the percentage of properties registered as HMOs in the wider Botanic, Holylands, and Rugby policy area, from 64% in 2008 to 40% in 2020.
