HMOs in Rugby are licensed and regulated by Rugby Borough Council. Before we manage, lease or appraise a house, we check whether the address falls within an additional licensing scheme or an Article 4 direction, because both change what the house needs.

Our team is based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 31 miles from Rugby, which keeps inspections and property visits easy to arrange.

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.

Questions about HMO management in Rugby

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.

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.

How do you find tenants for rooms in Rugby?

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.

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.
