Matlock sits within Derbyshire Dales District 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.
Our team is based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 43 miles from Matlock, which keeps inspections and property visits easy to arrange.

Checked October 2026 against Derbyshire Dales District Council's HMO licensing page. Schemes change, so we confirm the position for your address before any work starts.
We couldn't confirm Derbyshire Dales 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 couldn't confirm whether Derbyshire Dales District Council runs additional licensing, so we check with the council for the address.
