Also, our tenancy is with the agency. In the tenancy agreement they've said "This agreement is between us: <Esate agency name>...

by an0nymous

Greenwich has an Article 4 directive in place across the whole borough requiring planning consent to convert a property to an HMO. This tends to happen where the Council are concerned about the number of HMOs in the locality so if your property is in an area where there are already quite a few, you...
