Broxtowe Borough Council's Article 4 direction covers parts of the Beeston wards, not Stapleford, so changing a family house here into a small HMO is usually permitted development. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. We couldn't confirm whether Broxtowe Borough Council runs additional licensing, so we check with the council for the address.

How we handle HMO compliance audit work in Stapleford

An audit of an HMO in Stapleford 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 Stapleford check against both, and we can quote for any work the report identifies once you have read it.

  • Management Regulations 2006 duties checked on site
  • Fire precautions and fire risk assessment reviewed
  • Certificates and tenancy paperwork checked for gaps and dates
  • Written report with a prioritised, photographed fix list
  • Licence conditions checked against the house as it is

What happens if I let an unlicensed HMO in Stapleford?

Since 1 May 2026 councils can issue civil penalties of up to £40,000, and rent repayment orders can cover up to two years' rent. If a house in Stapleford needs a licence, apply as soon as possible.

Do HMOs in Stapleford need a fire risk assessment?

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

Can you fix the issues a council inspection found?

Yes. We price the works on the inspection report, carry them out and provide the evidence the council asks for.
