Atherstone sits within North Warwickshire Borough Council, which sets its own HMO standards for room sizes, kitchens and bathrooms. Our designs start from those standards, so the layout we price is designed to meet the council's licensing requirements.
We'll tell you plainly if a house in Atherstone isn't suited to the number of rooms you have in mind, and what it would take to make it work.
