Shared houses in Eastwood need to satisfy Broxtowe Borough Council's licensing team as well as building regulations. We plan for both from the first survey, which avoids rework later.

Broxtowe Borough Council's Article 4 direction covers parts of the Beeston wards, not Eastwood, so changing a family house here into a small HMO is usually permitted development. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. We couldn't confirm whether Broxtowe Borough Council runs additional licensing, so we check with the council for the address.
HMO refurbishment in Eastwood: what we do
We refurbish existing HMOs in Eastwood 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 Eastwood house are still let, we phase the work so tenants keep a working kitchen, bathroom and alarm system throughout. For landlords across Nottinghamshire, each job ends with updated certificates and photos ready to send to the council.
- Fire doors, alarms and escape routes brought up to standard
- Works list split into safety, licence and optional items
- Phasing plan that keeps occupied rooms usable
- Room-by-room condition and compliance survey
- Kitchens, bathrooms, electrics and decoration renewed as agreed
