We plan each HMO guaranteed rent job in Leicestershire around the local council's amenity standards, which set out kitchen, bathroom and room-size requirements for shared houses.
Our work in Leicestershire ranges from single conversions for first-time landlords to multi-house programmes for investors, all priced in writing before work starts.

HMO guaranteed rent for Leicestershire landlords
We offer guaranteed rent leases on suitable shared houses in Leicestershire. 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 Leicestershire 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.
- Lease of the whole house for a fixed monthly rent
- Room letting and tenant management handled by us
- Repair responsibilities set out clearly in the lease
- Inspections with written reports to the owner
- Licence and certificate records shared with you
