Checked October 2026 against Sandwell Council's HMO licensing page. Schemes change, so we confirm the position for your address before any work starts.

Sandwell Council's cabinet approved an immediate borough-wide Article 4 direction on 14 October 2026. We could not confirm whether it has been made, so we check with the council before any change of use. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. Sandwell Council also runs additional licensing across its whole area (until 30 September 2029), so smaller HMOs with three or four people from two or more households need a licence too.

HMO feasibility appraisals in Rowley Regis: what we do

Our HMO appraisals in Rowley Regis start with the address: we check the local council's licensing schemes, any Article 4 direction and its amenity standards for kitchens and bathrooms, then measure each room against the national minimum sizes to find the likely room count.

For houses in Rowley Regis and elsewhere in the West Midlands, the appraisal also covers the planning route, building regulations and fire implications, a guide build cost range and the main risks. It is property information, not a valuation or financial advice.

HMO feasibility appraisals in Rowley Regis: common questions

Is Rowley Regis a good place for an HMO?

It depends on the street, the house and Sandwell Council's rules rather than the town alone. We appraise individual properties against planning, licensing and room-count tests before giving a view.

Will you manage the house after the conversion?

Yes. Our turnkey service can run from purchase support through design, build and licensing to letting and management.

How do Article 4 directions affect HMO investment in Rowley Regis?

Where an Article 4 direction applies, turning a family house into a small HMO needs planning permission, which can be refused. We check whether the address is affected before you rely on any figures.

Do you give financial or investment advice?

No. We provide property, planning, licensing and building information. For finance, tax and investment decisions, speak to a regulated adviser.
