Most of the cost and risk in an HMO is decided at the design stage. In Bedworth we start by measuring every room and checking Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council's position on licensing and planning, then build the specification around it.
Our team is based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 20 miles from Bedworth. That keeps survey visits, site meetings and follow-up inspections easy to arrange.

HMO compliance audits in Bedworth: what we do
An audit of an HMO in Bedworth 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 Warwickshire set their own HMO standards on top of the national rules. Our audits of houses in Bedworth check against both, and we can quote for any work the report identifies once you have read it.
