Most of the cost and risk in an HMO is decided at the design stage. In Grantham we start by measuring every room and checking South Kesteven District Council's position on licensing and planning, then build the specification around it.
Work is carried out by S&K and vetted subcontractors working under S&K's supervision, so you contract with one company for the whole project.

We couldn't confirm South Kesteven District Council's Article 4 position from its own website, so we check it with the council for the address. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. We couldn't confirm whether South Kesteven District Council runs additional licensing, so we check with the council for the address.
