HMOs in Daventry are licensed and regulated by West Northamptonshire 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.
We cover NN11 and the neighbouring postcodes, with the same approach in Daventry as anywhere else in Northamptonshire.

West Northamptonshire Council's Article 4 direction covers the whole former Northampton borough, not Daventry, so changing a family house here into a small HMO is usually permitted development. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. West Northamptonshire Council runs additional licensing in parts of Northampton and Daventry, so smaller HMOs there need a licence too. We check whether the address in Daventry is covered.
HMO guaranteed rent in Daventry: what we do
We offer guaranteed rent leases on suitable shared houses in Daventry and elsewhere in Northamptonshire. 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 Daventry 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.
