Cheadle sits within Staffordshire Moorlands District Council, which sets its own HMO standards for room sizes, kitchens and bathrooms. We check a house against those standards before we let rooms or rely on any figures.
Terms for management, tenant-find or guaranteed rent are agreed in writing for each property before you instruct us.

HMO feasibility appraisals for Cheadle landlords
Our HMO appraisals in Cheadle start with the address: we check the local council's licensing schemes, any Article 4 direction and its amenity standards for kitchens and bathrooms, then measure each room against the national minimum sizes to find the likely room count.
For houses in Cheadle and elsewhere in Staffordshire, the appraisal also covers the planning route, building regulations and fire implications, a guide build cost range and the main risks. It is property information, not a valuation or financial advice.
