In Rutland, as everywhere in England, a house with five or more people forming two or more households needs a mandatory HMO licence. Rutland County Council may add its own schemes, as the table shows.
Our work in Rutland ranges from single houses for first-time landlords to larger projects for investors, with terms agreed in writing before work starts.
