Licensing and planning for HMOs in Warwickshire is handled by the district, borough, city or unitary councils, not one county-wide body. That's why the same house can need different paperwork depending on which side of a council boundary it sits.

Our work in Warwickshire ranges from single conversions for first-time landlords to multi-house programmes for investors, all priced in writing before work starts.

Questions about HMO floor plan in Warwickshire

Do HMOs in Warwickshire need a fire risk assessment?

Fire safety law requires a fire risk assessment of the common parts of most HMOs, and councils commonly ask to see one with a licence application. We arrange the assessment and the works it recommends.

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.

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.

What happens if I let an unlicensed HMO in Warwickshire?

Since 1 May 2026 councils can issue civil penalties of up to £40,000, and rent repayment orders can cover up to two years' rent. If a house in Warwickshire needs a licence, apply as soon as possible.
