A shared house in Uttoxeter has to work for the council, the people who live there and the owner's figures. We look at all three before we agree terms.
Terms for management, tenant-find or guaranteed rent are agreed in writing for each property before you instruct us.

We couldn't confirm East Staffordshire Borough Council's Article 4 position from its own website, so we check it with the council for the address. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. We found no additional licensing scheme in force in East Staffordshire Borough Council, so the mandatory licence for five or more people is the main one to plan for.
