Mandatory HMO licence (5+ people)	In force everywhere in England
Additional HMO licensing	None found

Checked October 2026 against Derby City Council's HMO licensing page. Schemes change, so we confirm the position for your address before any work starts.

Derby City Council's Article 4 direction covers Arboretum ward and parts of the wards inside the ring road, not Chaddesden, so changing a family house here into a small HMO is usually permitted development. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. We found no additional licensing scheme in force in Derby City Council, so the mandatory licence for five or more people is the main one to plan for.

Questions about HMO feasibility appraisal in Chaddesden

What rents do HMO rooms achieve in Chaddesden?

Room rents vary by street, standard and season, so we check current comparable lets for the property rather than quote a town-wide figure.

Is Chaddesden a good place for an HMO?

It depends on the street, the house and Derby City Council's rules rather than the town alone. We appraise individual properties against planning, licensing and room-count tests before giving a view.

Can you work with my own architect or lender?

Yes. We can work to another designer's drawings or provide the cost information a lender's surveyor asks for.

Do you charge for an HMO appraisal in Chaddesden?

Talk to us about the property first. We'll explain what an appraisal involves for that house before you commit to anything.
