In Lincolnshire, as everywhere in England, a house with five or more people forming two or more households needs a mandatory HMO licence. Some councils go further with additional licensing or Article 4 directions, as the table shows.

Our work in Lincolnshire ranges from single conversions for first-time landlords to multi-house programmes for investors, all priced in writing before work starts.

Councils in Lincolnshire where we found an Article 4 direction for small HMOs in force, in all or part of their area: City of Lincoln Council. We found no additional licensing schemes in force that we could confirm, so the mandatory licence for five or more people is the main one to plan for.

Our maintenance team covers shared houses in Lincolnshire, carrying out planned work, repairs and void works. We log every report and agree a priority with the owner, so safety items such as fire doors, alarms and heating are dealt with ahead of routine jobs.

For HMOs in Lincolnshire, we keep fire alarm and emergency lighting test records, certificates and repair notes in one property file, ready if the local council inspects the house or asks for evidence that the licence conditions are being met.

What landlords in Lincolnshire ask us

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 manage HMOs across Lincolnshire?

Yes. We manage shared houses in Lincolnshire and across Lincolnshire, from letting individual rooms to rent collection, repairs and licence compliance.

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.

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.
