Penkridge sits within South Staffordshire 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.
You get one point of contact, written terms agreed for each property and regular updates on rent, repairs and compliance.

Checked October 2026 against South Staffordshire Council's HMO licensing page. Schemes change, so we confirm the position for your address before any work starts.
We couldn't confirm South Staffordshire Council's Article 4 position from its own website, so we check it with the council for the address. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. We couldn't confirm whether South Staffordshire Council runs additional licensing, so we check with the council for the address.
HMO guaranteed rent for Penkridge landlords
We offer guaranteed rent leases on suitable shared houses in Penkridge and elsewhere in Staffordshire. Before making an offer we survey the house, measure the rooms and check the local council's licensing and planning position for the address, because those decide how many people can lawfully live there.
Owners in Penkridge who lease to any operator should check the licence, certificates and tenancy paperwork, because licensing offences and rent repayment orders can reach superior landlords since 1 May 2026. Have the lease reviewed by your own solicitor before you sign.
