Mandatory HMO licence (5+ people)	In force everywhere in England
Additional HMO licensing	In force Whole city, 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2028

Checked October 2026 against Nottingham City Council's HMO licensing page. Schemes change, so we confirm the position for your address before any work starts.

Nottingham City Council has an Article 4 direction across its whole area, so turning a family house in Clifton into a small HMO needs planning permission. We check this before an offer is made, not after. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. Nottingham City Council also runs additional licensing across its whole area (until 31 December 2028), so smaller HMOs with three or four people from two or more households need a licence too.

Turnkey HMO projects in Clifton: what we do

Our turnkey HMO projects in Clifton 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 Nottinghamshire.

Owners in Clifton 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.

Turnkey HMO projects in Clifton: common questions

Can you find HMO properties for me in Clifton?

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.

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.

What rents do HMO rooms achieve in Clifton?

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

How do Article 4 directions affect HMO investment in Clifton?

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.
