HMO rules in Derby City Council

Rule	Derby City Council
Mandatory HMO licence (5+ people)	In force everywhere in England
Additional HMO licensing	None found
Selective licensing	None found
Article 4 direction for small HMOs	In part of the area Arboretum ward and parts of seven wards inside the ring road, since 3 May 2025

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

Derby City Council's Article 4 direction covers Arboretum ward and parts of the wards inside the ring road, not Littleover, so changing a family house here into a small HMO is usually permitted development. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. We found no additional licensing scheme in force in Derby City Council, so the mandatory licence for five or more people is the main one to plan for.

Questions about HMO management in Littleover

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.

Do you manage HMOs across Littleover?

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

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.

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.
