HMOs in Lutterworth are licensed and regulated by Harborough District 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.
We cover LE17 and the neighbouring postcodes, with the same approach in Lutterworth as anywhere else in Leicestershire.
