HMO Development & Conversions in Corby
Planning a new shared house or improving an existing HMO? Our work brings together property conversion, refurbishment, room lettings and ongoing management. A practical layout needs to work for the people living there and for the landlord maintaining it.
From the property plan to occupied rooms
Discuss your floor plan, proposed bedrooms, shared facilities and refurbishment priorities with our team. We can agree the project scope and consider how the finished rooms will be marketed and managed. View our HMO conversion and property development projects in Corby for examples of our work.
Check the address before committing to a conversion
Planning permission and HMO licensing are separate checks. Parts of Kingswood are covered by an Article 4 direction, so the requirements depend on the address and proposal. Check North Northamptonshire Council's Kingswood Article 4 guidance and the relevant licensing and building requirements before starting works.
Budget for the whole project
Allow for acquisition and refurbishment costs, furnishings, utilities, management, repairs and empty periods. A room-by-room rental valuation and a rental yield calculation can help you assess the assumptions for your property.
Looking for HMO Rooms to Rent in Corby?
Find a room in a shared home through our available rooms and properties to rent in Corby. Check each listing for its rent, deposit, included bills, furnishings and en-suite facilities, then arrange a viewing from the property page. Our tenant guide explains how to prepare for your move.
HMO Management & Conversion FAQs
Do you develop and convert HMOs in Corby as well as manage them?
Yes. Oleon Properties undertakes HMO conversions and property refurbishment in Corby as well as room lettings and ongoing management. Discuss the property, proposed works and letting plan with our team. Our Projects page shows conversion and refurbishment examples; the scope and cost are agreed for each property.
Can you manage an existing HMO or a portfolio of shared houses?
Yes. We work with individual HMO landlords and portfolio owners. We review the rooms, current tenancies, rent records, maintenance needs and compliance documents to agree the management scope and handover. Tell us whether the property is occupied, partly let or awaiting refurbishment.
How do I assess a property for HMO conversion in Corby?
Start with the address, existing use, floor plan and proposed occupancy. Check the relevant planning, licensing and building requirements before committing to works. Budget for conversion costs, furnishings, utilities, maintenance and empty rooms alongside expected rents. Our team can discuss the proposed project and a rental valuation; returns and approvals are not guaranteed.
Do you offer HMO rooms to rent in Corby?
Yes. Browse Properties to Let for our current rooms and shared homes in Corby. Each listing explains availability, rent, deposit, furnishings, bills and whether the room has an en-suite. Use the listing to arrange a viewing; availability and included bills vary by property.
What should I send when requesting an HMO management quote?
Send the property address, number of rooms, current occupancy and rents, plus any floor plans and existing licence or safety documents you hold. Tell us whether you need tenant finding, fully managed service or help with a conversion. We will discuss the property and confirm the proposed service and fees.
What is an HMO?
A House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) is a property rented by at least 3 people who form more than 1 household and share facilities like a kitchen or bathroom. HMOs typically generate higher yields than standard buy-to-let properties.
Do I need an HMO licence in Corby?
North Northamptonshire Council provides the licensing rules for Corby. Mandatory licensing generally covers five or more people in two or more households sharing facilities. Planning permission is a separate check, including the Kingswood Article 4 direction. Ask the council about your address.
What yields can I expect from an HMO?
Returns depend on purchase costs, room rents, occupancy, bills, repairs and management fees. Compare a property-specific budget and allow for empty periods. Our rental yield calculator can help you explore assumptions; it does not guarantee a return.
How quickly can you find tenants?
Timing depends on the rent, condition, demand, access for viewings and completed referencing. We discuss the marketing plan for your rooms and keep you informed about enquiries; a fixed letting time cannot be guaranteed.
What happens if a tenant doesn't pay rent?
We handle all rent collection and arrears management, including legal proceedings if necessary. Court attendance is available at £180 per half day if eviction becomes required.
What's the difference between Fully Managed and Let Only?
Fully Managed (15% of gross rent) includes tenant finding, rent collection, maintenance, inspections, and compliance. Let Only (£550 one-off) covers tenant placement and initial setup only - you handle ongoing management.
Can I switch from Let Only to Fully Managed?
Yes, absolutely. Many landlords start with Let Only and upgrade to Fully Managed as their portfolio grows. Contact us to discuss upgrading your service.
What if I want to end my management contract?
You have a 14-day cooling-off period with no charges. After that, early termination incurs a fee of 15% of annual rent. For example, £6,300 annual rent = £945 termination fee.
