Visit Bolton Council for local housing and licensing information ↗These are the main starting criteria. The final decision depends on the property's layout, location, condition and intended use.
Sapphire Living Care generally looks for suitable properties with at least three bedrooms.
Suitable four-bedroom HMOs are an area of active demand across Greater Manchester, including Bolton.
We currently look for EPC D or higher, or a property where appropriate improvements are possible.
The property should be secure, well maintained and able to meet gas, electrical, fire and housing standards.
Vacant homes and properties becoming available within about three months are usually easier to progress.
Properties across Farnworth, Kearsley, Little Lever, Horwich and the rest of Bolton can be assessed.
HMOs come with licensing and, in some areas, planning considerations. Sapphire Living Care reviews the intended use and relevant compliance requirements before progressing a property.
Mandatory HMO licensing applies across England where a property is rented to five or more people from more than one household. Councils can also run additional or selective licensing schemes, so check Bolton Council's current requirements.
GOV.UK guidance on HMOs ↗Some councils use Article 4 Directions to require planning permission for new small HMOs in certain areas. Whether this applies depends on the property's location and proposed use.
Bolton Council website ↗The key difference is the income and management structure. Your exact responsibilities are set out in the agreement before you sign.
