A shared house in Boston has to work for the council, the people who live there and the owner's figures. We look at all three before we agree terms.
Our team is based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 84 miles from Boston, which keeps inspections and property visits easy to arrange.

HMO guaranteed rent in Boston: what we do
We offer guaranteed rent leases on suitable shared houses in Boston and elsewhere in Lincolnshire. 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 Boston 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
- Room letting and tenant management handled by us
- Lease of the whole house for a fixed monthly rent
- Inspections with written reports to the owner
