HMOs in Hinckley are licensed and regulated by Hinckley and Bosworth 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.

Because we also build and repair HMOs, problems found at an inspection can be priced and fixed by the same team.

Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council's Article 4 direction covers Hinckley town centre and about 36 nearby streets. Whether a house in Hinckley 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 couldn't confirm whether Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council runs additional licensing, so we check with the council for the address.

What landlords in Hinckley ask us

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.

Who keeps the HMO licence conditions up to date?

As managing agent we keep the compliance diary: certificates, fire alarm testing records, inspections and anything the licence conditions require.

What is HMO guaranteed rent?

A company leases the whole house for a fixed monthly rent and lets the rooms itself. A company let is governed by the lease terms rather than the assured tenancy rules, and owners can still be exposed if the operator breaks licensing rules, so have the lease checked by your own solicitor.

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.
