HMO conversions in Stourport-on-Severn: common questions

Does a converted HMO in Stourport-on-Severn 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. Wyre Forest District Council may also license smaller HMOs, which we check for the address.

What size must bedrooms be in an HMO in Stourport-on-Severn?

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

Can you convert part of a building above a shop in Stourport-on-Severn?

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

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.
