HMO rules in West Northamptonshire Council

Rule	West Northamptonshire Council
Mandatory HMO licence (5+ people)	In force everywhere in England
Additional HMO licensing	In part of the area Parts of Northampton and Daventry, 24 February 2025 to 23 February 2030
Selective licensing	None found

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

West Northamptonshire Council's Article 4 direction covers the whole former Northampton borough, not Towcester, 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's additional licensing covers parts of Northampton and Daventry, which doesn't include Towcester, so the mandatory licence for five or more people is the main one to plan for there.

HMO management in Towcester: what we do

Our HMO management in Towcester 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 Northamptonshire.

For owners in Towcester, 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.

What landlords in Towcester ask us

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 Towcester?

Yes. We manage shared houses in Towcester and across Northamptonshire, 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.
