High Peak Borough Council is the licensing and planning authority for Buxton. We confirm the house has the licence and planning status it needs before anything else.

Our HMO guaranteed rent service in Buxton
We offer guaranteed rent leases on suitable shared houses in Buxton and elsewhere in Derbyshire. Before making an offer we survey the house, measure the rooms and check the local council's licensing and planning position for the address, because those decide how many people can lawfully live there.
Owners in Buxton who lease to any operator should check the licence, certificates and tenancy paperwork, because licensing offences and rent repayment orders can reach superior landlords since 1 May 2026. Have the lease reviewed by your own solicitor before you sign.
