Running an HMO in Boston means keeping Boston Borough Council's licence conditions, the management regulations and the tenancy rules in step. We keep those together in one compliance diary.
Because we also build and repair HMOs, problems found at an inspection can be priced and fixed by the same team.

We couldn't confirm Boston Borough Council's Article 4 position from its own website, so we check it with the council for the address. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. We couldn't confirm whether Boston Borough Council runs additional licensing, so we check with the council for the address.
Our turnkey HMO service in Boston
Our turnkey HMO projects in Boston run under one contract from purchase support to first tenants. Each starts with checks for the address, including the local council's licensing schemes, any Article 4 direction and its amenity standards, so the design reflects the rules that apply in Lincolnshire.
Owners in Boston keep control of the purchase and finance decisions throughout, with a written summary and a decision point at the end of each stage. Build costs are quoted after a survey, and council fees for planning, licensing and building control are paid separately.
