Our work in Rutland ranges from single houses for first-time landlords to larger projects for investors, with terms agreed in writing before work starts.
Licensing and planning for HMOs in Rutland is handled by Rutland County Council, a unitary council covering the whole county, so the same rules apply wherever the house is.

Our HMO floor plan service in Rutland
Licence applications for HMOs in Rutland commonly need a floor plan showing room sizes, room use, fire safety features and amenities. We measure the house on site, check the format the council asks for and draw plans that match the property as it is today.
For landlords across Rutland, our plans also support planning applications, building control and fire risk assessments. If you have changed the layout of a house in Rutland, we can update existing plans before a renewal, variation or sale.
