When hosting do you need a licence

When hosting do you need a licence

Can any one help me?

 

I am a newbie to hosting and loving every minute of it.  I am struggling to find out if I am legally required to have a Real Estate Licence to be a host and receive a reward/fee for hosting another persons property.  Having done some research the cost of obtaining and registrating a licence is extremley expensive.

 

I approached Office of Fair Trading and was adviced that I am required to have a full Real Estate Licence, I have no desire to let or sell property so fail to understand why this is the case.

 

Is there anyone out there who could shed any light on this matter, I want to expand, but legally of course. Or is there a way around this?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Many thanks, Nicola
