Because we also build and repair HMOs, problems found at an inspection can be priced and fixed by the same team.

Checked October 2026 against Birmingham City Council's HMO licensing page. Schemes change, so we confirm the position for your address before any work starts.

Birmingham City Council has an Article 4 direction across its whole area, so turning a family house in Handsworth into a small HMO needs planning permission. Before we take a house on, we check it has the planning status it needs. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. Birmingham City Council also runs additional licensing across its whole area (until 4 June 2028), so smaller HMOs with three or four people from two or more households need a licence too.

How we handle HMO guaranteed rent work in Handsworth

We offer guaranteed rent leases on suitable shared houses in Handsworth and elsewhere in the West Midlands. 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 Handsworth 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.

HMO guaranteed rent in Handsworth: common questions

Do you handle repairs as well as lettings?

Yes. Our maintenance team carries out repairs and planned work, so reported problems don't wait for a separate contractor to be found.

Do you manage HMOs across Handsworth?

Yes. We manage shared houses in Handsworth and across the West Midlands, from letting individual rooms to rent collection, repairs and licence compliance.

What is HMO guaranteed rent?

A company leases the whole house for a fixed monthly rent and lets the rooms itself. A company let is governed by the lease terms rather than the assured tenancy rules, and owners can still be exposed if the operator breaks licensing rules, so have the lease checked by your own solicitor.

Who keeps the HMO licence conditions up to date?

As managing agent we keep the compliance diary: certificates, fire alarm testing records, inspections and anything the licence conditions require.
