Our HMO conversion service in Whitchurch

Questions about HMO conversion in Whitchurch

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

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.

Does a converted HMO in Whitchurch 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. Shropshire Council may also license smaller HMOs, which we check for the address.

What size must bedrooms be in an HMO in Whitchurch?

For licensed HMOs in England a room for one adult must be at least 6.51 square metres and a room for two adults at least 10.22 square metres. Shropshire Council may set additional standards, which we design to.

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

It depends on the number of occupants and whether Shropshire 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.
