HMOs in Birstall are licensed and regulated by Charnwood 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.

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

Charnwood Borough Council's Article 4 direction covers Loughborough, not Birstall, so changing a family house here into a small HMO is usually permitted development. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. Charnwood Borough Council also runs additional licensing across its whole area (until 31 March 2028), so smaller HMOs with three or four people from two or more households need a licence too.
