An HMO in Wigston has to work for three audiences: the council, the people who live there and the owner's figures. We design with all three in mind and price the result in writing.
We'll tell you plainly if a house in Wigston isn't suited to the number of rooms you have in mind, and what it would take to make it work.

Our HMO refurbishment service in Wigston
We refurbish existing HMOs in Wigston 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 Wigston 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.
- Kitchens, bathrooms, electrics and decoration renewed as agreed
- Phasing plan that keeps occupied rooms usable
- Works list split into safety, licence and optional items
- Room-by-room condition and compliance survey
