In Worcestershire, as everywhere in England, a house with five or more people forming two or more households needs a mandatory HMO licence. Some councils go further with additional licensing or Article 4 directions, as the table shows.

Our work in Worcestershire ranges from single conversions for first-time landlords to multi-house programmes for investors, all priced in writing before work starts.
