Most of the cost and risk in an HMO is decided at the design stage. In Carlton we start by measuring every room and checking Gedling Borough 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.

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.
