From then, turning a family house in Oakengates into a small HMO will need planning permission, so we check your programme against that date. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission.

HMO property sourcing in Oakengates: common questions

What rents do HMO rooms achieve in Oakengates?

Room rents vary by street, standard and season, so we check current comparable lets for the property rather than quote a town-wide figure.

Can you work with my own architect or lender?

Yes. We can work to another designer's drawings or provide the cost information a lender's surveyor asks for.

Is Oakengates a good place for an HMO?

It depends on the street, the house and Telford & Wrekin Council's rules rather than the town alone. We appraise individual properties against planning, licensing and room-count tests before giving a view.

Can you find HMO properties for me in Oakengates?

Yes. We look for houses whose layout, planning position and licensing requirements suit HMO use, and share the checks we've done on each one.
