We plan each turnkey HMO job in Northamptonshire around the local council's amenity standards, which set out kitchen, bathroom and room-size requirements for shared houses.

Licensing and planning for HMOs in Northamptonshire is handled by the district, borough, city or unitary councils, not one county-wide body. That's why the same house can need different paperwork depending on which side of a council boundary it sits.

Turnkey HMO projects in Northamptonshire: what we do

Our turnkey HMO projects in Northamptonshire 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 Northamptonshire.

Owners in Northamptonshire 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.

Towns we cover in Northamptonshire

What landlords in Northamptonshire ask us

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.

Is Northamptonshire a good place for an HMO?

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

Do you charge for an HMO appraisal in Northamptonshire?

Talk to us about the property first. We'll explain what an appraisal involves for that house before you commit to anything.

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.
