Telford & Wrekin Council has confirmed a borough-wide Article 4 direction that starts on 27 February 2027. From then, turning a family house in Madeley into a small HMO will need planning permission, so we check your programme against that date. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. Telford & Wrekin Council revoked a planned borough-wide additional licensing scheme in September 2026, so the mandatory licence for five or more people is the main one to plan for.

Our HMO conversion service in Madeley

Our HMO conversion work in Madeley starts with a measured survey and a check of the planning and licensing rules that apply to the street. We design the room layout, shared facilities and escape route around those rules, then price the agreed specification in an itemised written quote.

Two houses in Madeley that look alike from outside can give different room counts once the kitchen, stairs and bathrooms are measured. We give you a realistic number early, then build across Shropshire with our own team and vetted subcontractors under a single contract.

HMO conversions in Madeley: common questions

Can you convert part of a building above a shop in Madeley?

Often, yes. Flats above shops need extra attention to fire separation from the commercial unit, and we assess this at survey stage.

Does a converted HMO in Madeley need a licence?

Yes if five or more people from two or more households will live there, because mandatory licensing applies in every council in England. Telford & Wrekin Council may also license smaller HMOs, which we check for the address.

Can you work on a house I haven't bought yet in Madeley?

Yes. We can survey before you buy and tell you the likely room count, the planning and licensing position and a guide cost, so you can decide with the facts in front of you.

Do I need planning permission to convert a house to an HMO in Madeley?

It depends on the number of occupants and whether Telford & Wrekin Council has an Article 4 direction covering the address. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. We check the position for your street before quoting.
