A shared house in Arnold 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.
Because we also build and repair HMOs, problems found at an inspection can be priced and fixed by the same team.

Checked October 2026 against Gedling Borough Council's HMO licensing page. Schemes change, so we confirm the position for your address before any work starts.
Gedling Borough Council has proposed an Article 4 direction for three streets in Netherfield. None was in force when we checked. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. We found no additional licensing scheme in force in Gedling Borough Council, so the mandatory licence for five or more people is the main one to plan for.
How we handle HMO guaranteed rent work in Arnold
We offer guaranteed rent leases on suitable shared houses in Arnold and elsewhere in Nottinghamshire. 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 Arnold 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.
