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

Licensing and planning for HMOs in Warwickshire is handled by the district, borough, city or unitary councils, not one county-wide body. That's why the same house can need different paperwork depending on which side of a council boundary it sits.

Questions about HMO maintenance in Warwickshire

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.

Do you manage HMOs across Warwickshire?

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

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 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.
