Nottingham City Council has an Article 4 direction across its whole area, so turning a family house in Nottingham 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.

Questions about turnkey HMO in Nottingham

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 Nottingham?

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

Do you give financial or investment advice?

No. We provide property, planning, licensing and building information. For finance, tax and investment decisions, speak to a regulated adviser.

How do Article 4 directions affect HMO investment in Nottingham?

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.
