HMOs in Melton Mowbray are licensed and regulated by Melton 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.
We cover LE13 and the neighbouring postcodes, with the same approach in Melton Mowbray as anywhere else in Leicestershire.
