Eastwood sits within Broxtowe Borough 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.
Terms for management, tenant-find or guaranteed rent are agreed in writing for each property before you instruct us.

Broxtowe Borough Council's Article 4 direction covers parts of the Beeston wards, not Eastwood, so changing a family house here into a small HMO is usually permitted development. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. We couldn't confirm whether Broxtowe Borough Council runs additional licensing, so we check with the council for the address.
Our HMO guaranteed rent service in Eastwood

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.
