Our work in Rutland ranges from single houses for first-time landlords to larger projects for investors, with terms agreed in writing before work starts.
In Rutland, as everywhere in England, a house with five or more people forming two or more households needs a mandatory HMO licence. Rutland County Council may add its own schemes, as the table shows.

Void and turnaround refurbishment for Rutland landlords
We turn round empty HMO rooms in Rutland 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 Rutland are harder to predict. We agree standard finishes and a set checklist with landlords across Rutland, 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
