Leicester City Council's Article 4 direction covers several areas of the city, including Westcotes, Clarendon Park and the city centre. Whether a house in Belgrave needs planning permission to become a small HMO depends on whether it is inside that boundary, which we check for the exact address. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. We found no additional licensing scheme in force in Leicester City Council, so the mandatory licence for five or more people is the main one to plan for.

Questions about turnkey HMO in Belgrave

Can you work with my own architect or lender?

Yes. We can work to another designer's drawings or provide the cost information a lender's surveyor asks for.

What rents do HMO rooms achieve in Belgrave?

Room rents vary by street, standard and season, so we check current comparable lets for the property rather than quote a town-wide figure.

Is Belgrave a good place for an HMO?

It depends on the street, the house and Leicester City Council's rules rather than the town alone. We appraise individual properties against planning, licensing and room-count tests before giving a view.

Will you manage the house after the conversion?

Yes. Our turnkey service can run from purchase support through design, build and licensing to letting and management.
