Most of the cost and risk in an HMO is decided at the design stage. In Coleshill we start by measuring every room and checking North Warwickshire Borough Council's position on licensing and planning, then build the specification around it.
Our team is based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 10 miles from Coleshill. That keeps survey visits, site meetings and follow-up inspections easy to arrange.
