HMO rules in North Northamptonshire Council

Rule	North Northamptonshire Council
Mandatory HMO licence (5+ people)	In force everywhere in England
Additional HMO licensing	None found
Selective licensing	None found
Article 4 direction for small HMOs	In part of the area Kingswood ward in Corby only, since 24 April 2024

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, not Kettering, so changing a family house here into a small HMO is usually permitted development. 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.

How we handle turnkey HMO work in Kettering

Our turnkey HMO projects in Kettering 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 Kettering 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.

Questions about turnkey HMO in Kettering

What rents do HMO rooms achieve in Kettering?

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

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.

Can you find HMO properties for me in Kettering?

Yes. We look for houses whose layout, planning position and licensing requirements suit HMO use, and share the checks we've done on each one.

How do Article 4 directions affect HMO investment in Kettering?

Where an Article 4 direction applies, turning a family house into a small HMO needs planning permission, which can be refused. We check whether the address is affected before you rely on any figures.
