South Holland District Council is the licensing and planning authority for Spalding. We check its rules for the exact street before we draw a single partition.
Our team is based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 76 miles from Spalding. That keeps survey visits, site meetings and follow-up inspections easy to arrange.

HMO licence applications for Spalding landlords
Licensing rules for shared houses in Spalding depend on the exact address. Mandatory licensing applies to every HMO with 5 or more occupiers, but additional or selective schemes can bring smaller houses into licensing too. We check which applies before preparing anything, so the application matches the scheme.
For landlords in Spalding and across Lincolnshire, we prepare the floor plan, collect the certificates and complete the council's form. We follow the application through to a decision, help with any draft conditions and keep a note of the renewal date.
