An HMO in Shepshed has to work for three audiences: the council, the people who live there and the owner's figures. We design with all three in mind and price the result in writing.

Checked October 2026 against Charnwood Borough Council's HMO licensing page. Schemes change, so we confirm the position for your address before any work starts.
Charnwood Borough Council's Article 4 direction covers Loughborough, not Shepshed, so changing a family house here into a small HMO is usually permitted development. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. Charnwood Borough Council also runs additional licensing across its whole area (until 31 March 2028), so smaller HMOs with three or four people from two or more households need a licence too.
Void and turnaround refurbishment for Shepshed landlords
We turn round empty HMO rooms in Shepshed between tenancies: inspection, repairs, redecoration, a deep clean and safety checks, finished with photos you can use to advertise the room. Each job is quoted per room or per job after we have seen it.
Because tenants can now give notice at any point in the year, voids in Shepshed are harder to predict. We agree standard finishes and a set checklist with landlords across Leicestershire, so a room can be put right without waiting on decisions.
