Licences

We haven't checked this council's own licensing schemes or planning limits on house shares yet, so we can't say whether any apply here.

Anywhere in England, a house share of 5 or more people from more than one household needs a licence from the council - an HMO licence.

Rents

The average rent here is £1,556 a month, up 2.1% on a year before.

  • 1 bedroom: £1,239 a month
  • 2 bedrooms: £1,554 a month
  • 3 bedrooms: £1,899 a month
  • 4 or more bedrooms: £2,492 a month
