Grantham sits within South Kesteven 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.
Our team is based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 59 miles from Grantham, which keeps inspections and property visits easy to arrange.

HMO management in Grantham: what we do
Our HMO management in Grantham 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 Lincolnshire.
For owners in Grantham, 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.
