What we look for in Haringey
We look for three to six bedroom houses within a short walk of Wood Green, Turnpike Lane, Bounds Green, Seven Sisters, Tottenham Hale or an Overground station. Houses here are often large Victorian and Edwardian terraces, which suit shared living well when the layout allows separate living space. We pay for refurbishment and furnishing.
Licensing in practice
We work out which scheme applies, submit the application and maintain the licence while we lease the property. The council’s HMO licensing page explains each scheme.
Streets and neighbourhoods we look at in Haringey
Wood Green and Turnpike Lane
Wood Green’s High Road, with Wood Green Shopping City, and Turnpike Lane, along Green Lanes, are both on the Piccadilly line and have a steady supply of large Victorian terraces. Alexandra Palace sits above them, and its park is a draw for tenants who want green space close to a station.
The Harringay Ladder and Green Lanes
The Harringay Ladder is a grid of Victorian terraced streets running between Green Lanes and Wightman Road, a short walk from Harringay and Finsbury Park stations. The houses here are popular with professionals, and selective licensing applies in Harringay ward, so licensing needs checking carefully.
Tottenham, Seven Sisters and Tottenham Hale
Tottenham High Road has the Tottenham Hotspur stadium and good transport links. Seven Sisters and Tottenham Hale are both on the Victoria line, which reaches the West End quickly, so rooms near either station are in constant demand.
Bounds Green, Muswell Hill and Crouch End
Bounds Green, on the Piccadilly line, has 1930s and Edwardian houses at lower rents than Muswell Hill and Crouch End, where the Broadways have a village feel and house prices are higher. Larger houses in these areas let to a smaller number of higher-earning sharers.
Haringey has many Victorian terraces that suit shared living, and a lot of them are owned by landlords who have moved away. A fixed monthly rent, with the licence, the tenants and the repairs handled by us, suits owners who want to keep the house without managing it.
What this means for a landlord
Haringey licenses shared houses across the whole borough, and councils can issue penalties of up to £30,000 for breaches. Send us your postcode and we will confirm the scheme that applies to your street before we give you a guaranteed rent figure.
