HMOs in Arnold are licensed and regulated by Gedling 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 NG5 and the neighbouring postcodes, with the same approach in Arnold as anywhere else in Nottinghamshire.
