Questions about HMO conversion in Burntwood

Does a converted HMO in Burntwood 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. Lichfield District Council may also license smaller HMOs, which we check for the address.

Do you supply fire doors and alarms as part of a conversion?

Yes. Fire doors, the alarm system and emergency lighting are specified to the fire risk of the house and included in the price, not added later.

How long does an HMO conversion in Burntwood take?

It depends on the size of the house and the work involved. Your written quote includes a programme for each stage, and any planning or licensing time is shown separately.

What size must bedrooms be in an HMO in Burntwood?

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. Lichfield District Council may set additional standards, which we design to.
