HMO conversions in Castle Bromwich: common questions

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.

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

It depends on the number of occupants and whether Solihull 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.

Can you convert part of a building above a shop in Castle Bromwich?

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

How long does an HMO conversion in Castle Bromwich 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.
