Belper sits within Amber Valley Borough Council, which sets its own HMO standards for room sizes, kitchens and bathrooms. We check a house against those standards before we let rooms or rely on any figures.
You get one point of contact, written terms agreed for each property and regular updates on rent, repairs and compliance.

Checked October 2026 against Amber Valley Borough Council's HMO licensing page. Schemes change, so we confirm the position for your address before any work starts.

We couldn't confirm whether Amber Valley Borough Council runs additional licensing, so we check with the council for the address.
How we handle HMO property sourcing work in Belper
