Our work in Leicestershire ranges from single conversions for first-time landlords to multi-house programmes for investors, all priced in writing before work starts.
We plan each HMO room letting job in Leicestershire around the local council's amenity standards, which set out kitchen, bathroom and room-size requirements for shared houses.

Room lets and tenant find for Leicestershire landlords
We let HMO rooms in Leicestershire for owners who manage their own houses, from a single room to every room as it falls vacant. Each advert shows the asking rent, and each applicant is referenced and checked in the same way before any paperwork is signed.
Room lets in Leicestershire follow the same national rules as anywhere in England: assured periodic tenancies, no bidding, no blanket bans and limits on rent in advance. Where the house needs an HMO licence, we check the licence conditions on occupancy before letting each room.
- Room adverts with photos and the asking rent shown
- Referencing and Right to Rent checks where required
- Enquiries handled and viewings carried out
- Option to move to full management later
- Photo inventory and alarm check on move-in day
