Shared houses in Droitwich Spa need to satisfy Wychavon District Council's licensing team as well as building regulations. We plan for both from the first survey, which avoids rework later.
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.

Checked October 2026 against Wychavon District Council's HMO licensing page. Schemes change, so we confirm the position for your address before any work starts.
We couldn't confirm Wychavon District Council's Article 4 position from its own website, so we check it with the council for the address. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. We couldn't confirm whether Wychavon District Council runs additional licensing, so we check with the council for the address.
