South Staffordshire Council is the licensing and planning authority for Codsall. We check its rules for the exact street before we draw a single partition.
We can keep a photographic record of each stage, which is useful evidence when the council inspects or a buyer's surveyor asks questions later.

Checked October 2026 against South Staffordshire Council's HMO licensing page. Schemes change, so we confirm the position for your address before any work starts.
We couldn't confirm South Staffordshire Council's Article 4 position from its own website, so we check it with the council for the address. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. We couldn't confirm whether South Staffordshire Council runs additional licensing, so we check with the council for the address.
Our HMO conversion service in Codsall
Our HMO conversion work in Codsall 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 Codsall 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 Staffordshire with our own team and vetted subcontractors under a single contract.
