Wellingborough sits within North Northamptonshire 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 cover NN8 and the neighbouring postcodes, with the same standards in Wellingborough as anywhere else in Northamptonshire.

Mandatory HMO licence (5+ people)	In force everywhere in England
Additional HMO licensing	None found
Selective licensing	None found
Article 4 direction for small HMOs	In part of the area Kingswood ward in Corby only, since 24 April 2024

Checked October 2026 against North Northamptonshire Council's HMO licensing page. Schemes change, so we confirm the position for your address before any work starts.

North Northamptonshire Council's Article 4 direction covers Kingswood ward in Corby only, not Wellingborough, so changing a family house here into a small HMO is usually permitted development. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. We found no additional licensing scheme in force in North Northamptonshire Council, so the mandatory licence for five or more people is the main one to plan for.

Yes. We can survey before you buy and tell you the likely room count, the planning and licensing position and a guide cost, so you can decide with the facts in front of you.
