Additional HMO licensing	None found
Selective licensing	None found

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

Derby City Council's Article 4 direction covers Arboretum ward and parts of the wards inside the ring road, not Littleover, so changing a family house here into a small HMO is usually permitted development. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. We found no additional licensing scheme in force in Derby City Council, so the mandatory licence for five or more people is the main one to plan for.

HMO floor plans in Littleover: common questions

Do HMOs in Littleover 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 Littleover?

Not under a council scheme we could find when we checked. Mandatory licensing starts at five people, and councils can add schemes, so we confirm with Derby City Council before you let.

How long does an HMO licence last?

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

What happens if I let an unlicensed HMO in Littleover?

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 Littleover needs a licence, apply as soon as possible.
