Coventry City Council's Article 4 direction covers 11 wards across the city, including Earlsdon, Foleshill, Lower and Upper Stoke, Radford, St Michael's and Westwood, not Allesley, so changing a family house here into a small HMO is usually permitted development. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. Coventry City Council also runs additional licensing across its whole area (until 3 May 2030), so smaller HMOs with three or four people from two or more households need a licence too.

HMO floor plans in Allesley: common questions

Who issues HMO licences in Allesley?

Coventry City Council is the licensing authority for Allesley. We prepare the application and supporting documents, and the council decides whether to grant the licence and on what conditions.

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.

What happens if I let an unlicensed HMO in Allesley?

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 Allesley needs a licence, apply as soon as possible.

Do I need a licence for a three or four person HMO in Allesley?

Yes. Coventry City Council runs additional licensing across its whole area, so a three or four person HMO in Allesley with two or more households needs a licence. Mandatory licensing covers five or more people.
