We plan each HMO guaranteed rent job in Worcestershire around the local council's amenity standards, which set out kitchen, bathroom and room-size requirements for shared houses.

In Worcestershire, as everywhere in England, a house with five or more people forming two or more households needs a mandatory HMO licence. Some councils go further with additional licensing or Article 4 directions, as the table shows.

HMO guaranteed rent in Worcestershire: what we do

We offer guaranteed rent leases on suitable shared houses in Worcestershire. 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 Worcestershire 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.

What landlords in Worcestershire ask us

Can you manage a house that you converted for me?

Yes, and it helps. We already have the drawings, certificates and specification, so the handover into management is straightforward.

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.

What do tenants pay you?

Tenants don't pay us letting fees. Under the Tenant Fees Act 2019, only certain payments such as rent and a capped deposit can be charged. Our fees page sets this out.

How do you find tenants for rooms in Worcestershire?

We advertise each room, carry out viewings, reference applicants and handle move-in, with rooms let under the tenancy rules in force at the time.
