HMO rules in Charnwood Borough Council

Rule	Charnwood Borough Council
Mandatory HMO licence (5+ people)	In force everywhere in England
Additional HMO licensing	In force Whole borough, 1 April 2023 to 31 March 2028
Selective licensing	In part of the area Hastings and Lemyngton wards in Loughborough, 1 April 2023 to 31 March 2028
Article 4 direction for small HMOs	In part of the area Loughborough, since 12 February 2012

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

Charnwood Borough Council's Article 4 direction covers Loughborough, not Birstall, so changing a family house here into a small HMO is usually permitted development. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. Charnwood Borough Council also runs additional licensing across its whole area (until 31 March 2028), so smaller HMOs with three or four people from two or more households need a licence too.

HMO management for Birstall landlords

Our HMO management in Birstall covers the whole cycle of a shared house: letting rooms, collecting rent, arranging repairs and keeping the licence conditions and certificates in date. We check the local council's licensing scheme for the address before taking a house on, because conditions vary across Leicestershire.

For owners in Birstall, we can also help with registration on the PRS Database, which is due to open region by region from 15 December 2026, starting in the West Midlands, subject to Parliament approving the regulations. Repairs are handled by our own maintenance team.

Questions about HMO management in Birstall

What do tenants pay you?

Tenants don't pay us letting fees. Under the Tenant Fees Act 2019, only certain payments such as rent and a capped deposit can be charged. Our fees page sets this out.

Do you manage HMOs across Birstall?

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

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 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.
