Our work in Rutland ranges from single houses for first-time landlords to larger projects for investors, with terms agreed in writing before work starts.
In Rutland, as everywhere in England, a house with five or more people forming two or more households needs a mandatory HMO licence. Rutland County Council may add its own schemes, as the table shows.

Turnkey HMO projects for Rutland landlords
Our turnkey HMO projects in Rutland 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 Rutland.
Owners in Rutland 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.
