Running an HMO in Oakham means keeping Rutland County Council's licence conditions, the management regulations and the tenancy rules in step. We keep those together in one compliance diary.
Our team is based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 50 miles from Oakham, which keeps inspections and property visits easy to arrange.

We couldn't confirm Rutland County Council's Article 4 position from its own website, so we check it with the council for the address. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. We couldn't confirm whether Rutland County Council runs additional licensing, so we check with the council for the address.
HMO management for Oakham landlords
Our HMO management in Oakham 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 Rutland.
For owners in Oakham, 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.
