HMO floor plans in Penn: common questions

Do I need a licence for a three or four person HMO in Penn?

Not under a council scheme we could find when we checked. Mandatory licensing starts at five people, and councils can add schemes, so we confirm with City of Wolverhampton Council before you let.

Can you fix the issues a council inspection found?

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

Who issues HMO licences in Penn?

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

How often are electrical checks needed in an HMO?

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.
