HMO projects in Tile Hill are shaped by the rules of Coventry City Council. Before we price anything, we check whether the address falls within an additional licensing scheme or an Article 4 direction, because both change what the house needs and how long it takes.
Our team is based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 19 miles from Tile Hill. That keeps survey visits, site meetings and follow-up inspections easy to arrange.

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.
