HMO guaranteed rent in Atherstone: what we do
We offer guaranteed rent leases on suitable shared houses in Atherstone and elsewhere in Warwickshire. 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 Atherstone 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.
