In Warwickshire, as everywhere in England, a house with five or more people forming two or more households needs a mandatory HMO licence. Some councils go further with additional licensing or Article 4 directions, as the table shows.

We plan each HMO property sourcing job in Warwickshire around the local council's amenity standards, which set out kitchen, bathroom and room-size requirements for shared houses.

Towns we cover in Warwickshire

What landlords in Warwickshire ask us

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.

Will you manage the house after the conversion?

Yes. Our turnkey service can run from purchase support through design, build and licensing to letting and management.

Is Warwickshire a good place for an HMO?

It depends on the street, the house and the local 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 Warwickshire?

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.
