Checked October 2026. Mandatory licensing for five or more people applies in every council. Schemes change, so we confirm the position for the address before work starts.

Councils in Lincolnshire where we found an Article 4 direction for small HMOs in force, in all or part of their area: City of Lincoln Council. We found no additional licensing schemes in force that we could confirm, so the mandatory licence for five or more people is the main one to plan for.

Our large HMO conversion service in Lincolnshire

For larger houses and buildings in Lincolnshire, we assess whether an HMO for seven or more people is realistic before any design money is spent. That means checking local planning policy, the structure, the escape routes and how many kitchens and bathrooms the occupancy would need.

If the scheme works, we prepare the planning drawings, agree the fire strategy with building control and build floor by floor. It suits bigger properties in Lincolnshire where a six-bedroom layout would leave usable space empty.

  • Handover file prepared for the mandatory licence
  • Planning drawings and room schedule for the application
  • Kitchens and bathrooms sized to council amenity standards
  • Fire strategy agreed with building control at the start
  • Feasibility check of the building, layout and planning policy
