An HMO in Sedgley has to work for three audiences: the council, the people who live there and the owner's figures. We design with all three in mind and price the result in writing.

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.

We prepare the planning application before any conversion work starts. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission.

Questions about HMO kitchen and bathroom in Sedgley

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

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.

Does a converted HMO in Sedgley 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. Dudley 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 Sedgley?

It depends on the number of occupants and whether Dudley 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.
