HMOs in Heanor are licensed and regulated by Amber Valley Borough Council. Before we manage, lease or appraise a house, we check whether the address falls within an additional licensing scheme or an Article 4 direction, because both change what the house needs.
Terms for management, tenant-find or guaranteed rent are agreed in writing for each property before you instruct us.
