Our HMO services in Northampton
Each service page covers West Northamptonshire Council's rules and what we do in Northampton.
HMO conversions and refurbishment
Licensing and compliance
Management and guaranteed rent
Investor services
An HMO in Northampton has to work for three audiences: the council, the people who live there and the owner's figures. We design with all three in mind and price the result in writing.
You get one point of contact for the whole job, a fixed price for the agreed specification and a written programme showing when each stage happens.
Northampton is close to a university or college campus, so students and young professionals are part of the local rental market. If that is your market, layouts with en-suites, a generous kitchen and secure bike storage are worth planning in from the start.

West Northamptonshire Council's Article 4 direction covers the whole former Northampton borough, so turning a family house in Northampton into a small HMO needs planning permission. We prepare the planning application before any conversion work starts. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. West Northamptonshire Council runs additional licensing in parts of Northampton and Daventry, so smaller HMOs there need a licence too. We check whether the address in Northampton is covered.
