Malvern sits within Malvern Hills District Council, which sets its own HMO standards for room sizes, kitchens and bathrooms. Our designs start from those standards, so the layout we price is designed to meet the council's licensing requirements.
Because we also manage and maintain HMOs, we design with day-to-day running in mind: hard-wearing finishes, sensible storage and layouts that keep shared spaces usable.

Checked October 2026 against Malvern Hills District Council's HMO licensing page. Schemes change, so we confirm the position for your address before any work starts.

Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. We couldn't confirm whether Malvern Hills District Council runs additional licensing, so we check with the council for the address.
Our HMO floor plan service in Malvern
Licence applications for HMOs in Malvern commonly need a floor plan showing room sizes, room use, fire safety features and amenities. We measure the house on site, check the format the council asks for and draw plans that match the property as it is today.
