A shared house in Tile Hill 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.
We'll tell you plainly if a house in Tile Hill isn't suited to the arrangement you have in mind, and what it would take to make it work.

Coventry City Council's Article 4 direction covers 11 wards across the city, including Earlsdon, Foleshill, Lower and Upper Stoke, Radford, St Michael's and Westwood. Whether a house in Tile Hill needs planning permission to become a small HMO depends on whether it is inside that boundary, which we check for the exact address. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. Coventry City Council also runs additional licensing across its whole area (until 3 May 2030), so smaller HMOs with three or four people from two or more households need a licence too.
