HMO management in Cannock: what we do

We check the local council's licensing scheme for the address before taking a house on, because conditions vary across Staffordshire.

What landlords in Cannock ask us

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.

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.

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.

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.
