Renting out a home in Hall Green

Hall Green is mostly 1920s and 1930s semi-detached houses on tree-lined roads, with some Victorian villas and newer estates such as The Moorlands.

The three bed semi is the typical let, and family demand is strong because of the schools.

  • King Edward VI Camp Hill Schools for Boys and for Girls, both selective grammar schools
  • Hall Green School and well-regarded primaries
  • Sarehole Mill, the Shire Country Park along the River Cole, and Moseley Bog

Our work in Hall Green

We have let or managed more than ten homes in Hall Green over the last few years, and the rents we achieve sit in line with the local market.

Because the edges of B28 fall inside licensed wards, we check every Hall Green address before we let it, so landlords don't find out about a licence after the tenant has moved in.

A lot of landlords who book a Tenancy Health Check with us think their property is fully compliant and find gaps. Lettings involves more than 170 laws and regulations, and a managed service that only collects rent tends to miss some of them.

We also run landlord seminars in Birmingham on the new rules, licensing and tax. The next one is in the last week of November 2026. Join the seminar waitlist.

Licensing and the rules in Hall Green

Hall Green comes under Birmingham City Council. Not for an ordinary single-family let. Hall Green is in Hall Green North and Hall Green South wards, outside Birmingham's selective licensing scheme. Shared houses are different: across Birmingham an HMO with three or more sharers needs a licence, and a new small HMO needs planning permission.

Hall Green North and South wards are outside selective licensing, but B28 addresses at the Tyseley and Acocks Green ends fall in wards that are in it. Check each address.

Shared houses: a new small HMO (three to six sharers) needs planning permission anywhere in Birmingham, under the city-wide Article 4 direction in force since 8 June 2020. HMOs with three or four sharers have also needed an additional licence since 5 June 2023, and five or more need a mandatory licence.
