We can keep a photographic record of each stage, which is useful evidence when the council inspects or a buyer's surveyor asks questions later.

Checked October 2026 against Charnwood Borough Council's HMO licensing page. Schemes change, so we confirm the position for your address before any work starts.
Charnwood Borough Council's Article 4 direction covers Loughborough, not Birstall, so changing a family house here into a small HMO is usually permitted development. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. Charnwood Borough Council also runs additional licensing across its whole area (until 31 March 2028), so smaller HMOs with three or four people from two or more households need a licence too.
