Rugeley sits within Cannock Chase District Council, which sets its own HMO standards for room sizes, kitchens and bathrooms. We check a house against those standards before we let rooms or rely on any figures.
Terms for management, tenant-find or guaranteed rent are agreed in writing for each property before you instruct us.
