So what exactly, should MPs be allowed to own, buy, sell, or even do? A law exists connecting to almost everything.
It was local council decisions that created the issue, not national government. A licence wouldn't have been required if the property had been in a different area within the same council area.

That said, when she moved into Downing Street, it was fair enough that she should let her own house (until she leaves office!), albeit overlooking a matter of detail that she might not have known about. But here agent should have known about it (assuming she had an agent), in which case pointing the finger is not unreasonable.

The owner is still required to make sure that any agent has the required licence.
