HMOs in Corby are licensed and regulated by North Northamptonshire 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.
You get one point of contact, written terms agreed for each property and regular updates on rent, repairs and compliance.

Checked October 2026 against North Northamptonshire Council's HMO licensing page. Schemes change, so we confirm the position for your address before any work starts.
North Northamptonshire Council's Article 4 direction covers Kingswood ward in Corby only. Whether a house in Corby 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 North Northamptonshire Council, so the mandatory licence for five or more people is the main one to plan for.
