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.
You get one point of contact, written terms agreed for each property and regular updates on rent, repairs and compliance.

HMO management for Spalding landlords
