Blaby District Council is the licensing and planning authority for Glenfield. We confirm the house has the licence and planning status it needs before anything else.
Terms for management, tenant-find or guaranteed rent are agreed in writing for each property before you instruct us.

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

We couldn't confirm whether Blaby District Council runs additional licensing, so we check with the council for the address.
