West Northamptonshire Council's Article 4 direction covers the whole former Northampton borough, not Daventry, so changing a family house here into a small HMO is usually permitted development. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. West Northamptonshire Council runs additional licensing in parts of Northampton and Daventry, so smaller HMOs there need a licence too. We check whether the address in Daventry is covered.

What landlords in Daventry ask us

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.

Can you take over a house that already has tenants?

Yes. We review the tenancies, licence and certificates at handover and list anything that needs attention before we take on day-to-day management.

Do you manage HMOs across Daventry?

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

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.
