Narborough sits within Blaby District Council, which sets its own HMO standards for room sizes, kitchens and bathrooms. Our designs start from those standards, so the layout we price is designed to meet the council's licensing requirements.
We cover LE9 and the neighbouring postcodes, with the same standards in Narborough as anywhere else in Leicestershire.

Checked October 2026 against Blaby District Council's HMO licensing page. Schemes change, so we confirm the position for your address before any work starts.
We couldn't confirm Blaby District 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 Blaby District Council runs additional licensing, so we check with the council for the address.
Our HMO compliance audit service in Narborough
An audit of an HMO in Narborough checks the house the way a licensing officer would: room sizes, fire safety, amenities, certificates and paperwork. You get a written, prioritised fix list, so you know what needs doing before an inspection, renewal or purchase.
Councils across Leicestershire set their own HMO standards on top of the national rules. Our audits of houses in Narborough check against both, and we can quote for any work the report identifies once you have read it.
- Certificates and tenancy paperwork checked for gaps and dates
- Licence conditions checked against the house as it is
- Fire precautions and fire risk assessment reviewed
- Management Regulations 2006 duties checked on site
- Written report with a prioritised, photographed fix list
