An HMO in Dudley has to work for three audiences: the council, the people who live there and the owner's figures. We design with all three in mind and price the result in writing.
Work is carried out by S&K and vetted subcontractors working under S&K's supervision, so you contract with one company for the whole project.

Dudley Council has an Article 4 direction across its whole area, so turning a family house in Dudley into a small HMO needs planning permission. We check the planning history of the address as part of any licence work. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. We couldn't confirm whether Dudley Council runs additional licensing, so we check with the council for the address.
