Rule	Derby City Council
Mandatory HMO licence (5+ people)	In force everywhere in England
Additional HMO licensing	None found
Selective licensing	None found
Article 4 direction for small HMOs	In part of the area Arboretum ward and parts of seven wards inside the ring road, since 3 May 2025

Checked October 2026 against Derby City Council's HMO licensing page. Schemes change, so we confirm the position for your address before any work starts.

Derby City Council's Article 4 direction covers Arboretum ward and parts of the wards inside the ring road, not Mickleover, so changing a family house here into a small HMO is usually permitted development. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. We found no additional licensing scheme in force in Derby City Council, so the mandatory licence for five or more people is the main one to plan for.

HMO maintenance and repairs in Mickleover: common questions

Can you take over a house that already has tenants?

Yes. We review the tenancies, licence and certificates at handover and list anything that needs attention before we take on day-to-day management.

Do you handle repairs as well as lettings?

Yes. Our maintenance team carries out repairs and planned work, so reported problems don't wait for a separate contractor to be found.

Can you manage a house that you converted for me?

Yes, and it helps. We already have the drawings, certificates and specification, so the handover into management is straightforward.

What do tenants pay you?

Tenants don't pay us letting fees. Under the Tenant Fees Act 2019, only certain payments such as rent and a capped deposit can be charged. Our fees page sets this out.
