A shared house in Warwick 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.
Our team is based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 24 miles from Warwick, which keeps inspections and property visits easy to arrange.

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.
