Grantham sits within South Kesteven District Council, which sets its own HMO standards for room sizes, kitchens and bathrooms. Our designs start from those standards, so the layout we price is designed to meet the council's licensing requirements.
We'll tell you plainly if a house in Grantham isn't suited to the number of rooms you have in mind, and what it would take to make it work.

Void and turnaround refurbishment for Grantham landlords
We turn round empty HMO rooms in Grantham 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 Grantham 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.
