An HMO in Stone 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.
Our team is based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 26 miles from Stone. That keeps survey visits, site meetings and follow-up inspections easy to arrange.

Checked October 2026 against Stafford Borough Council's HMO licensing page. Schemes change, so we confirm the position for your address before any work starts.
We couldn't confirm Stafford Borough 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 Stafford Borough Council runs additional licensing, so we check with the council for the address.
Our HMO licence application service in Stone
Licensing rules for shared houses in Stone depend on the exact address. Mandatory licensing applies to every HMO with 5 or more occupiers, but additional or selective schemes can bring smaller houses into licensing too. We check which applies before preparing anything, so the application matches the scheme.
For landlords in Stone and across Staffordshire, we prepare the floor plan, collect the certificates and complete the council's form. We follow the application through to a decision, help with any draft conditions and keep a note of the renewal date.
