HMO guaranteed rent in Spalding: what we do
We offer guaranteed rent leases on suitable shared houses in Spalding 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 Spalding 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.
- Inspections with written reports to the owner
- Lease of the whole house for a fixed monthly rent
- Draft lease supplied for your own solicitor to review
- Licence and certificate records shared with you
- Repair responsibilities set out clearly in the lease
