A shared house in Basford has to work for the council, the people who live there and the owner's figures. We look at all three before we agree terms.
Our team is based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 43 miles from Basford, which keeps inspections and property visits easy to arrange.

Nottingham City Council has an Article 4 direction across its whole area, so turning a family house in Basford into a small HMO needs planning permission. Before we take a house on, we check it has the planning status it needs. 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.
