Spalding sits within South Holland District Council, which sets its own HMO standards for room sizes, kitchens and bathrooms. We check a house against those standards before we let rooms or rely on any figures.
We cover PE11 and the neighbouring postcodes, with the same approach in Spalding as anywhere else in Lincolnshire.

Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. We couldn't confirm whether South Holland District Council runs additional licensing, so we check with the council for the address.
HMO maintenance and repairs for Spalding landlords
Our maintenance team covers shared houses in Spalding and across 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 Spalding, 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.
