Checked October 2026 against Warwick District Council's HMO licensing page. Schemes change, so we confirm the position for your address before any work starts.

Warwick District Council's Article 4 direction covers the whole of Leamington Spa, not Warwick, so changing a family house here into a small HMO is usually permitted development. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. Warwick District Council also runs additional licensing across its whole area (from 18 January 2024 for five years), so smaller HMOs with three or four people from two or more households need a licence too.

What landlords in Warwick ask us

Do you charge for an HMO appraisal in Warwick?

Talk to us about the property first. We'll explain what an appraisal involves for that house before you commit to anything.

Can you find HMO properties for me in Warwick?

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.

How do Article 4 directions affect HMO investment in Warwick?

Where an Article 4 direction applies, turning a family house into a small HMO needs planning permission, which can be refused. We check whether the address is affected before you rely on any figures.

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.
