HMOs in Eastwood are licensed and regulated by Broxtowe Borough Council. Before we manage, lease or appraise a house, we check whether the address falls within an additional licensing scheme or an Article 4 direction, because both change what the house needs.
Our team is based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 40 miles from Eastwood, which keeps inspections and property visits easy to arrange.

Broxtowe Borough Council's Article 4 direction covers parts of the Beeston wards, not Eastwood, so changing a family house here into a small HMO is usually permitted development. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. We couldn't confirm whether Broxtowe Borough Council runs additional licensing, so we check with the council for the address.
How we handle HMO property sourcing work in Eastwood
We source houses suited to HMO use in Eastwood and across Nottinghamshire, checking each one for Article 4, licensing, room sizes, layout and condition before we put it forward. You receive the checks in writing, with comparable room lets found for that property.
Sourcing in Eastwood is carried out under written terms, with identity and anti-money-laundering checks before we act. We never hold or pool investors' money and we don't give financial advice, so take regulated advice before you commit to a purchase.
