Newark-on-Trent sits within Newark and Sherwood 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 cover NG24 and the neighbouring postcodes, with the same standards in Newark-on-Trent as anywhere else in Nottinghamshire.
