HMO compliance audits in Grantham: common questions

How long does an HMO licence last?

A licence can last up to five years. South Kesteven District Council may grant a shorter licence, for example where it has concerns about the property or the management.

Do HMOs in Grantham need a fire risk assessment?

Fire safety law requires a fire risk assessment of the common parts of most HMOs, and councils commonly ask to see one with a licence application. We arrange the assessment and the works it recommends.

Do I need a licence for a three or four person HMO in Grantham?

Only if South Kesteven District Council runs an additional licensing scheme covering the address. Mandatory licensing starts at five or more people. We confirm the position with the council for the address.

Who issues HMO licences in Grantham?

South Kesteven District Council is the licensing authority for Grantham. We prepare the application and supporting documents, and the council decides whether to grant the licence and on what conditions.
