HMO management in Chorlton-on-Medlock.
Own a student house or HMO in Chorlton-on-Medlock? It's one of the areas we cover from our office on Dickenson Road. We find and reference the tenants, collect the rent, handle repairs and keep the licence and safety certificates in date. Or we do just the part you want help with.
HMOs here are licensed by Manchester City Council. A house let to five or more people who form two or more households needs a mandatory HMO licence, and some streets are also covered by selective licensing. Since 2011, turning a family home into a shared house anywhere in Manchester has needed planning permission (an Article 4 direction). We can apply for the licence and keep it in date.
