In Derbyshire, as everywhere in England, a house with five or more people forming two or more households needs a mandatory HMO licence. Some councils go further with additional licensing or Article 4 directions, as the table shows.

Our work in Derbyshire ranges from single conversions for first-time landlords to multi-house programmes for investors, all priced in writing before work starts.

Councils in Derbyshire where we found an Article 4 direction for small HMOs in force, in all or part of their area: Derby City Council. Article 4 directions are due to start or proposed in: Erewash Borough Council. We found no additional licensing schemes in force that we could confirm, so the mandatory licence for five or more people is the main one to plan for.
