An HMO in Sherwood 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.
We cover NG5 and the neighbouring postcodes, with the same standards in Sherwood as anywhere else in Nottinghamshire.

Checked October 2026 against Nottingham City Council's HMO licensing page. Schemes change, so we confirm the position for your address before any work starts.
Nottingham City Council has an Article 4 direction across its whole area, so turning a family house in Sherwood into a small HMO needs planning permission. We prepare the planning application before any conversion work starts. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. Nottingham City Council also runs additional licensing across its whole area (until 31 December 2028), so smaller HMOs with three or four people from two or more households need a licence too.
Our HMO void refurbishment service in Sherwood
We turn round empty HMO rooms in Sherwood 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 Sherwood are harder to predict. We agree standard finishes and a set checklist with landlords across Nottinghamshire, so a room can be put right without waiting on decisions.
- Completion photos ready for advertising the room
- Repairs, filling and redecoration to an agreed standard
- Deep clean of the room and nearby shared areas
- Move-out inspection with dated photos
- Fire door, closer and alarm checks
