If the property is in Tunstall, the council that matters is Stoke-on-Trent City Council. We look up its current schemes for the address and note any conditions it usually attaches to licences.

Because we also build and repair HMOs, problems found at an inspection can be priced and fixed by the same team.

Stoke-on-Trent City Council has an Article 4 direction across its whole area, so turning a family house in Tunstall into a small HMO needs planning permission. This is an immediate direction that took effect on 23 October 2026 and lapses unless the council confirms it within six months. Before we take a house on, we check it has the planning status it needs. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. Stoke-on-Trent City Council proposed a citywide additional licensing scheme in August 2026, subject to consultation, so smaller HMOs may need a licence in future.

HMO management in Tunstall: common questions

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.

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 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.

How do you find tenants for rooms in Tunstall?

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.
