Birmingham City Council has an Article 4 direction across its whole area, so turning a family house in Perry Barr into a small HMO needs planning permission. Before we take a house on, we check it has the planning status it needs. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. Birmingham City Council also runs additional licensing across its whole area (until 4 June 2028), so smaller HMOs with three or four people from two or more households need a licence too.

What landlords in Perry Barr ask us

How do you find tenants for rooms in Perry Barr?

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.

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.

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.

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.
