From then, turning a family house in Oakengates into a small HMO will need planning permission, so we check your programme against that date. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission.

What landlords in Oakengates ask us

Who issues HMO licences in Oakengates?

Telford & Wrekin Council is the licensing authority for Oakengates. We prepare the application and supporting documents, and the council decides whether to grant the licence and on what conditions.

How long does an HMO licence last?

A licence can last up to five years. Telford & Wrekin Council may grant a shorter licence, for example where it has concerns about the property or the management.

Can you fix the issues a council inspection found?

Yes. We price the works on the inspection report, carry them out and provide the evidence the council asks for.

How often are electrical checks needed in an HMO?

Private tenancies in England need an electrical installation condition report before the tenancy starts and at least every five years, and gas appliances need a safety check by a Gas Safe registered engineer every 12 months.
