HMOs in Long Eaton are licensed and regulated by Erewash 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.
Our team is based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 36 miles from Long Eaton, which keeps inspections and property visits easy to arrange.
