Lutterworth sits within Harborough 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.
We cover LE17 and the neighbouring postcodes, with the same approach in Lutterworth as anywhere else in Leicestershire.
