Sherwood sits within Nottingham City 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'll tell you plainly if a house in Sherwood isn't suited to the arrangement you have in mind, and what it would take to make it work.

Nottingham City Council has an Article 4 direction across its whole area, so turning a family house in Sherwood into a small HMO needs planning permission. We check this before an offer is made, not after. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. Nottingham City Council also runs additional licensing across its whole area (until 31 December 2028), so smaller HMOs with three or four people from two or more households need a licence too.

What landlords in Sherwood ask us

Do you charge for an HMO appraisal in Sherwood?

Talk to us about the property first. We'll explain what an appraisal involves for that house before you commit to anything.

Do you give financial or investment advice?

No. We provide property, planning, licensing and building information. For finance, tax and investment decisions, speak to a regulated adviser.

What rents do HMO rooms achieve in Sherwood?

Room rents vary by street, standard and season, so we check current comparable lets for the property rather than quote a town-wide figure.

Is Sherwood a good place for an HMO?

It depends on the street, the house and Nottingham City Council's rules rather than the town alone. We appraise individual properties against planning, licensing and room-count tests before giving a view.
