Most of the cost and risk in an HMO is decided at the design stage. In Melton Mowbray we start by measuring every room and checking Melton Borough Council's position on licensing and planning, then build the specification around it.
We cover LE13 and the neighbouring postcodes, with the same standards in Melton Mowbray as anywhere else in Leicestershire.

We couldn't confirm Melton Borough Council's Article 4 position from its own website, so we check it with the council for the address. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. We couldn't confirm whether Melton Borough Council runs additional licensing, so we check with the council for the address.
En-suite installation for Melton Mowbray landlords
We fit en-suite shower rooms in HMO bedrooms across Melton Mowbray, starting with a check that each bedroom still meets its size standard once the en-suite is built. Councils take different views on whether en-suite floor area counts, so we confirm the local position first.
Older houses often have joists running the wrong way and soil stacks in fixed positions, so in Melton Mowbray we check the drainage route under the floor before quoting. Every en-suite we fit in Leicestershire is finished with a ducted fan, certified electrics and fire stopping.
- Electrical work tested and certified
- Shower, toilet, basin and wipe-clean wall finish fitted
- Drainage route checked under the floor at survey
- Extract fan ducted to outside with overrun control
- Fire stopping where pipes pass through floors and walls
