Most of the cost and risk in an HMO is decided at the design stage. In Mansfield we start by measuring every room and checking Mansfield District Council's position on licensing and planning, then build the specification around it.
We'll tell you plainly if a house in Mansfield isn't suited to the number of rooms you have in mind, and what it would take to make it work.

We couldn't confirm Mansfield 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 found no additional licensing scheme in force in Mansfield District Council, so the mandatory licence for five or more people is the main one to plan for.
HMO refurbishment for Mansfield landlords
We refurbish existing HMOs in Mansfield 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 Mansfield 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.
