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.

What landlords in Bulwell ask us

Do HMOs in Bulwell 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.

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.

What documents does Nottingham City Council ask for with an HMO licence?

Councils usually ask for floor plans showing room sizes and fire safety features, gas and electrical safety certificates, and fire alarm and emergency lighting certificates. We check Nottingham City Council's current list for your application.

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

Yes. Nottingham City Council runs additional licensing across its whole area, so a three or four person HMO in Bulwell with two or more households needs a licence. Mandatory licensing covers five or more people.
