Birmingham City Council has an Article 4 direction across its whole area, so turning a family house in Moseley into a small HMO needs planning permission. We check the planning history of the address as part of any licence work. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. Birmingham City Council also runs additional licensing across its whole area (until 4 June 2028), so smaller HMOs with three or four people from two or more households need a licence too.

Who issues HMO licences in Moseley?

Birmingham City Council is the licensing authority for Moseley. We prepare the application and supporting documents, and the council decides whether to grant the licence and on what conditions.

Yes. We price the works on the inspection report, carry them out and provide the evidence the council asks for.

Private tenancies in England need an electrical installation condition report before the tenancy starts and at least every five years, and gas appliances need a safety check by a Gas Safe registered engineer every 12 months.
