Louth sits within East Lindsey District Council, which sets its own HMO standards for room sizes, kitchens and bathrooms. We check a house against those standards before we let rooms or rely on any figures.
Because we also build and repair HMOs, problems found at an inspection can be priced and fixed by the same team.

HMO guaranteed rent in Louth: what we do
We offer guaranteed rent leases on suitable shared houses in Louth 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 Louth 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.
