HMOs in Heanor are licensed and regulated by Amber Valley Borough Council. Before we manage, lease or appraise a house, we check whether the address falls within an additional licensing scheme or an Article 4 direction, because both change what the house needs.
Terms for management, tenant-find or guaranteed rent are agreed in writing for each property before you instruct us.

How we handle HMO guaranteed rent work in Heanor
We offer guaranteed rent leases on suitable shared houses in Heanor 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 Heanor 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.
- Repair responsibilities set out clearly in the lease
- Draft lease supplied for your own solicitor to review
