Licensing and planning for HMOs in Warwickshire is handled by the district, borough, city or unitary councils, not one county-wide body. That's why the same house can need different paperwork depending on which side of a council boundary it sits.
Our work in Warwickshire ranges from single conversions for first-time landlords to multi-house programmes for investors, all priced in writing before work starts.

Room lets and tenant find in Warwickshire: what we do
We let HMO rooms in Warwickshire for owners who manage their own houses, from a single room to every room as it falls vacant. Each advert shows the asking rent, and each applicant is referenced and checked in the same way before any paperwork is signed.
Room lets in Warwickshire follow the same national rules as anywhere in England: assured periodic tenancies, no bidding, no blanket bans and limits on rent in advance. Where the house needs an HMO licence, we check the licence conditions on occupancy before letting each room.
- Option to move to full management later
- Photo inventory and alarm check on move-in day
- Referencing and Right to Rent checks where required
- Enquiries handled and viewings carried out
- Room adverts with photos and the asking rent shown
