Blaby District Council is the licensing and planning authority for Glenfield. We check its rules for the exact street before we draw a single partition.
We'll tell you plainly if a house in Glenfield isn't suited to the number of rooms you have in mind, and what it would take to make it work.

Checked October 2026 against Blaby District Council's HMO licensing page. Schemes change, so we confirm the position for your address before any work starts.
We couldn't confirm Blaby District 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 Blaby District Council runs additional licensing, so we check with the council for the address.
HMO refurbishment for Glenfield landlords
We refurbish existing HMOs in Glenfield that have fallen behind current standards, whether the prompt is a licence renewal, a council inspection or rooms that have become hard to let. The survey splits the work into safety, licence and optional items so the priorities are clear.
Where rooms in a Glenfield house are still let, we phase the work so tenants keep a working kitchen, bathroom and alarm system throughout. For landlords across Leicestershire, each job ends with updated certificates and photos ready to send to the council.
- Room-by-room condition and compliance survey
- Before and after photos and updated certificates
- Phasing plan that keeps occupied rooms usable
- Fire doors, alarms and escape routes brought up to standard
- Works list split into safety, licence and optional items
