Wigan HMO landlords
Own an HMO in Wigan?
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.
Does My HMO Need a Licence?
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 Wigan Council's current requirements.
GOV.UK guidance on HMOs ↗Does Planning Affect 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.
Wigan Council website ↗Existing HMO status does not automatically make a property suitable. Licensing, planning, safety standards, layout and proposed housing use are all reviewed as part of the assessment.

Wigan landlord FAQs
Questions Landlords Ask About Guaranteed Rent in Wigan
Direct answers to the questions property owners ask before requesting an assessment.
Do you cover Leigh, Atherton and Tyldesley?
Yes. Sapphire Living Care assesses suitable properties across Wigan borough, including Leigh, Atherton, Tyldesley, Hindley, Ashton-in-Makerfield, Golborne, Standish and Orrell.
Is Wigan inside your core area?
Yes. Wigan is one of the ten Greater Manchester boroughs, which together make up Sapphire Living Care's core operating area. Acceptance still depends on the individual property and current demand.
What kind of Wigan property works best?
Usually a house with three or more bedrooms, a usable communal area, an EPC rating of D or above and a safe, habitable condition. Vacant properties are easiest to progress.
How does guaranteed rent work for landlords in Wigan?
Sapphire Living Care agrees a fixed monthly rent with a suitable landlord and pays that amount according to the agreement, including covered void periods. The exact rent, responsibilities and agreement length are confirmed in writing before you sign.
How much guaranteed rent can I get for my Wigan property?
The figure depends on the property's location, bedroom count, layout, condition and intended use. Sapphire Living Care assesses each property individually rather than quoting a generic percentage of market rent.
Is the rent guaranteed by the council?
No. Sapphire Living Care's guaranteed rent is not council-backed or council-guaranteed. Your payment rights come from the contract you sign with Sapphire Living Care. Any Housing Benefit or local authority arrangements for residents are separate from your contractual payment terms.
How long are the agreements?
Sapphire Living Care offers fixed-term agreement options of up to five years for suitable properties. The proposed term and rent are set out before you decide whether to proceed.
Do I need my mortgage lender's permission?
Your mortgage terms decide whether lender consent is needed for the proposed letting or lease structure. Check your mortgage conditions and confirm the arrangement with your lender before entering a long-term agreement.
