HMO conversions in Redditch: what we do

Our HMO conversion work in Redditch 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 Redditch 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 Worcestershire with our own team and vetted subcontractors under a single contract.

Questions about HMO conversion in Redditch

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 Redditch?

It depends on the number of occupants and whether Redditch Borough 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 Redditch?

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 Redditch 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. Redditch Borough Council may also license smaller HMOs, which we check for the address.
