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

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 prepare the planning application before any conversion work starts. 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.

What landlords in Moseley ask us

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

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

Do you supply fire doors and alarms as part of a conversion?

Yes. Fire doors, the alarm system and emergency lighting are specified to the fire risk of the house and included in the price, not added later.

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

It depends on the number of occupants and whether Birmingham City 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.

Does a converted HMO in Moseley 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. Birmingham City Council may also license smaller HMOs, which we check for the address.
