Most of the cost and risk in an HMO is decided at the design stage. In Burntwood we start by measuring every room and checking Lichfield District Council's position on licensing and planning, then build the specification around it.

We can keep a photographic record of each stage, which is useful evidence when the council inspects or a buyer's surveyor asks questions later.

What landlords in Burntwood ask us

Can you convert part of a building above a shop in Burntwood?

Often, yes. Flats above shops need extra attention to fire separation from the commercial unit, and we assess this at survey stage.

How long does an HMO conversion in Burntwood take?

It depends on the size of the house and the work involved. Your written quote includes a programme for each stage, and any planning or licensing time is shown separately.

Does a converted HMO in Burntwood need a licence?

Yes if five or more people from two or more households will live there, because mandatory licensing applies in every council in England. Lichfield District Council may also license smaller HMOs, which we check for the address.

Do I need planning permission to convert a house to an HMO in Burntwood?

It depends on the number of occupants and whether Lichfield District Council has an Article 4 direction covering the address. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. We check the position for your street before quoting.
