We'll tell you plainly if a house in Biddulph isn't suited to the number of rooms you have in mind, and what it would take to make it work.

HMO compliance audits in Biddulph: what we do
An audit of an HMO in Biddulph checks the house the way a licensing officer would: room sizes, fire safety, amenities, certificates and paperwork. You get a written, prioritised fix list, so you know what needs doing before an inspection, renewal or purchase.
Councils across Staffordshire set their own HMO standards on top of the national rules. Our audits of houses in Biddulph check against both, and we can quote for any work the report identifies once you have read it.

- Licence conditions checked against the house as it is
- Written report with a prioritised, photographed fix list
- Management Regulations 2006 duties checked on site
- Every bedroom measured, including the 1.5 m ceiling rule
