Oadby sits within Oadby and Wigston 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.
Because we also build and repair HMOs, problems found at an inspection can be priced and fixed by the same team.
