A shared house in Arnold has to work for the council, the people who live there and the owner's figures. We look at all three before we agree terms.
Terms for management, tenant-find or guaranteed rent are agreed in writing for each property before you instruct us.

Gedling Borough Council has proposed an Article 4 direction for three streets in Netherfield. None was in force when we checked. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. We found no additional licensing scheme in force in Gedling Borough Council, so the mandatory licence for five or more people is the main one to plan for.
HMO feasibility appraisals in Arnold: what we do
Our HMO appraisals in Arnold start with the address: we check the local council's licensing schemes, any Article 4 direction and its amenity standards for kitchens and bathrooms, then measure each room against the national minimum sizes to find the likely room count.
For houses in Arnold and elsewhere in Nottinghamshire, the appraisal also covers the planning route, building regulations and fire implications, a guide build cost range and the main risks. It is property information, not a valuation or financial advice.
