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 Mickleover, 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.

Questions about HMO floor plan in Mickleover

What happens if I let an unlicensed HMO in Mickleover?

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 Mickleover needs a licence, apply as soon as possible.

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.

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

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.

Do HMOs in Mickleover 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.
