HMO compliance audits in Sherwood

An HMO in Sherwood has to work for three audiences: the council, the people who live there and the owner's figures. We design with all three in mind and price the result in writing.

HMO rules in Nottingham City Council

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

Nottingham City Council has an Article 4 direction across its whole area, so turning a family house in Sherwood into a small HMO needs planning permission. We check the planning history of the address as part of any licence work. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. Nottingham City Council also runs additional licensing across its whole area (until 31 December 2028), so smaller HMOs with three or four people from two or more households need a licence too.

HMO compliance audits in Sherwood: what we do

An audit of an HMO in Sherwood 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 Nottinghamshire set their own HMO standards on top of the national rules. Our audits of houses in Sherwood check against both, and we can quote for any work the report identifies once you have read it.

• Every bedroom measured, including the 1.5 m ceiling rule
• Licence conditions checked against the house as it is
• Fire precautions and fire risk assessment reviewed
• Written report with a prioritised, photographed fix list
• Certificates and tenancy paperwork checked for gaps and dates
