An HMO in Corby has to work for three audiences: the council, the people who live there and the owner's figures. We design with all three in mind and price the result in writing.
Because we also manage and maintain HMOs, we design with day-to-day running in mind: hard-wearing finishes, sensible storage and layouts that keep shared spaces usable.

Checked October 2026 against North Northamptonshire Council's HMO licensing page. Schemes change, so we confirm the position for your address before any work starts.
North Northamptonshire Council's Article 4 direction covers Kingswood ward in Corby only. Whether a house in Corby needs planning permission to become a small HMO depends on whether it is inside that boundary, which we check for the exact address. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. We found no additional licensing scheme in force in North Northamptonshire Council, so the mandatory licence for five or more people is the main one to plan for.
