Void and turnaround refurbishment in Lincolnshire

Licensing and planning for HMOs in Lincolnshire is handled by the district, borough, city or unitary councils, not one county-wide body. That's why the same house can need different paperwork depending on which side of a council boundary it sits.

We plan each HMO void refurbishment job in Lincolnshire around the local council's amenity standards, which set out kitchen, bathroom and room-size requirements for shared houses.

HMO rules across Lincolnshire's councils

Checked October 2026. Mandatory licensing for five or more people applies in every council. Schemes change, so we confirm the position for the address before work starts.

Councils in Lincolnshire where we found an Article 4 direction for small HMOs in force, in all or part of their area: City of Lincoln Council. We found no additional licensing schemes in force that we could confirm, so the mandatory licence for five or more people is the main one to plan for.

Our HMO void refurbishment service in Lincolnshire

We turn round empty HMO rooms in Lincolnshire 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 Lincolnshire are harder to predict. We agree standard finishes and a set checklist with landlords across Lincolnshire, so a room can be put right without waiting on decisions.

• Gas safety and electrical report dates reviewed
• Repairs, filling and redecoration to an agreed standard
• Move-out inspection with dated photos
• Deep clean of the room and nearby shared areas
• Completion photos ready for advertising the room
