Rugby Borough Council's Article 4 direction covers five central wards of Rugby. Whether a house in Rugby needs planning permission to become a small HMO depends on whether it is inside that boundary, which we check for the exact address. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. We couldn't confirm whether Rugby Borough Council runs additional licensing, so we check with the council for the address.

What landlords in Rugby ask us

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.

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.

Do you manage HMOs across Rugby?

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

Can you take over a house that already has tenants?

Yes. We review the tenancies, licence and certificates at handover and list anything that needs attention before we take on day-to-day management.
