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

Because we also manage and maintain HMOs, we design with day-to-day running in mind: hard-wearing finishes, sensible storage and layouts that keep shared spaces usable.
